4. v MUT HOUR OF bIOR LNG. • •:a now sweet fisiilisd the forest's tangled sLa E, When early stinbeams, from the easterniliund, its=' Dawn on the sleeping landscape in the glade, Which fades, as Morning spreads her blush around ! When every isfaat flower that wept in night, Lifts it's chill head, soft glowing with a tear, Expands it's tender blossoms to the light, And gives it's incense to the genial air ! How sweet the breeze that wafts the rich perfume, And swells the melody of waking birds ; The hum of bees btneith the verdant gloom, And woodman's song, and low of distant herds! Ther. doubtful gleams the mountain's hoary head, Seen through the parting foliage from afar ; And farther still, the ocean's misty bed, With flitting sails, that partial sunbeams share! But vain the sylvan shade, the breath of slay, The voice of music floating on the gale, • And forms that beam through Orion's dewy veil, TI health no longer, bids the . heartbe gay ! PAL ACES, SfC. IN PARIS. PARIS, JULY 2.. I have found, by conversing with several English travellers who have not failed to visit the Palais Royal, Tuilleries, Louvre, Carrousel, and St. Cloud, that very few are acquainted with the origin of the names which distinguish these Palaces, and, what is more to be won dered at, their derivation is unknown to three-fourths of the Parisians theinselves. Perhaps it may be amusing to many of your readers to have a brief account of them: The PALMS ROYAL was called Palais du Cardinal. having been built by Cardinal Richelieu; it was finished at an enormous expense in 1686; this haughty pre late laid out 300,000 francs in Iron circles to bend the branches of the walnut tram .h the Palais garden, which formed a kind of verdant arcade; they were destroyed in the Revolution. At bis death the Cardi nal left this Palais to Louis XIII. after whose death Ann of Auitria, Queen and Regent, left the Louvre with her two sons, Louis XIV. and the Duke of Anjou, and occupied this magnificent mansion, from whence it was called the Palais Royal. Louis XIV. at his death. left it to the Duke of Mitre ' from whom it descended to the present Duke of Orleans, by whom it has been occupied since the Restoration. It is needless to give any account of the immense Bazaar of every article of utility and luxury to be found in the galleries of the • Palais Royal, built- by the late Duke, called Egalite. The Tuit.t.eatas takes its name from the palace and gardens being erected by Catherinede fdedieis, mother of Charles IX. in 1574, on a spot Where formerly were tile-kilnuartuileries. This magnificent palace wants nitifbradig-tbotigh built ander the inspection of Phil lips: de ,rorune, Abbe of St.'Serge and St. Eloi, who was considered the beep architect in France. The pas 'sage leading from Ron:St. Honore to the Rue Rivoli bears bis name. • The Pt.aoz CARlNkriteL -take; S y s tame nom a grand entertainment given by Louis . .to his Queen and the Queen Dowager, his mother . These Royal feasts • were called Carrousels, at which every species of amuse ment and good cheer was to be' met with. The Louvas was built originally of wood, by Phil lipe Auguste, iwthe year 1217, and enlarged by Charles VI. Its nanseis derived from the ancient Saxon word Leaver, whichtignifies * chateau or Royal edifice. It was long &Weed to rateive Itnifertaign Monarchs who visited Paris. In 1584 Francis'', 'demolished the old, and commenced the new palais, which was continued by Henry 11. and embellished by Henry IV. Louis XIIL and XIV. At length Napoleon projected the comple.' tion of its embellishments, %having. plated his bust ia, the facade of the Louvre, over which was written-b- Neeost le Greed a achy a le• Louvre. The picture . gallery that communicates this palais with that of dal Tuilleries is of the length of 1,380 feet, or 230 toisei. SAINT CLOon.—This palace was commenced in 1372, by Jerome Gandy, one of the richest financiers of his time, and was then simply calledGcmdy. It was here that Henry 111. was assassinated by Jacques Clement, a Dominicanisionk, on the lst of August. 1588. This chateau was afterwards called St. Cloud, from the fol lowing histprical factst- r clovis. at his death, left four sons, Thierry, Clodonsir, Childebert, and Clotaire, who divided the kingdom. Clodomir, at his death, left three sons, Theobald, Gunthane, -and Clodoalde, who were brought up by, their grand; nother Cletilde, the wife of Claim. The two former werebarbarously assassinated in their infancy by their uncle Clotaire ; the Latter es taped the fury of this barbarian. but was afterwards obliged to profess himself a-Monk, iwdSl. He after wards retired to a hermitage br monastery, founded by him atislogent. a village two leagues from Paris. After the death-of Clodeelde, whose name by corruption has been changed to Clad, the memory of his piety and social virtue procuted him canonization ; and a Church was built: under the patronage of his name at Nogent, and called St. Cloud ; since which the village of Nogent has changed its same. Is 1656;Lealia VV-bought the chateau de Goody of Hervard, etwaptroller-General of Finance, for his bro ther . the Mike of Orleans, since which it has been erected into a Royal Palate, greatly extended, and beautifully embellished. The immense park was laid out by Le• Notre. This Palace and the village in Which it Italia is. hciVi knower by the name of -Saint Cloud.

LOSS OF THE FAME. The following: extract of a lettet from Bencoolen con tains sortie Setails of the destruction, by fire, of the ship Fame, in which Sir STAMFORD RnryLes, late Governor of Beneoolen, had embarked, with his family and suite, on his return to Europe. A more providential escape is scarcely to be found on record: Bentoolen, February e. " Monday last, shoot seven o'clock at night, a light was seen in the direction the Fame sailed, which increased during the night. Next morning, a skip lying in the roads cut her cable a.rd stood out towards where the Ste was seen, and picked up two boats, contain ing Sir Stamford Relies and all the other persons who went in the Fame. It appears that about seven o'clock the steward went into the store-room and broached a cask of brandy, which, being drunk, he set fire to. in a few mleutes the ship was in a blaze, and as they had powder and saltpetre on board, the boats were cut away, and ail hands left the ship, most of them half-dressed. Lady Raf fles had on her night clothes, and had not time to put on even a pair of stockings. Most of the people were without hats; they had not time to get a drop of water or anything to eat. Only one boat had a compass. Nevertheless, no life was lost. It is certainly one of the most miraculous deliverances I ever heard of. Had they been one day further out at sea, or had there been any wind, every individual of them must certainly have been lost. Sir Stamford and Lady Raffles are much better than could be expected. He states his personal loss to be of immense amount, independent of his valuable papers, which he would not have lost for double the value of his personal property : indeed, the world has suffered a very great loss. He had maps, drawing% and every sort of natural curiosity for the literary world, and had intended to print a history of Sumatra : be says that all his future hopes are blasted, and that on his papers bad expected to build his future fame and pro spects. are now without clothes to their backs. The people are all sending what they can spare. The Captain goes to Padary in hopes of being able to buy a ship, and as there is a report of a ship going home from that port, I take the opportunity of sending this letter. An Address has been presented to hint to condole for his loss, and congratulate him on his safety. He does not intend staying, but goes the first opportunity. lit certainly is quite inde fatigable, having begun a new map of Sumatra, and has seat out men to find specimens of natural history." AQUATIC EXCURSION. Tuesday the LORD Naxos and the LADY hi AYORRSB gave an elegant entertainment at Richmond, to his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, and a select party. The company embarked on board the LORD lilavoa's state barge at Westminster Bridge, and proceeded in it to Kew, where they got on board the Navigation barge, which then moved up to Richmond, and was moored opposite the beautiful grounds of the Duchess of Buo ettoon. The river the whole way presented a veryl gay scene, and the number of beats, filled with ele gaudy dressed females, and the beauty of the afternoon, gave an enchantment to this delightful spot. Soon after four o'clock about one hundred - persons sat dowa to dinner, consisting of every delicacy and the choicest wines. The Duke of GLovcsarza l s band played during the repast, and the company were a ft erwards gratified with some most excellent singing by Sir G. Swint, Miss GOODALL, and Messrs. ilawas, TERRAIL, and JOLLY. About nine o'clock, dancing having previously commenced on deck, the barge moved down again to Kew Bridge, where the carriages were in waiting, and the party separated delighted with the day's festivity.

Sunday afternoon, as Colonel DUNCANNOI4 was riding a fine spirited horse, on the sands at Ramsgate, the arm' mid suddenly took fright, and, resisting all controul of the rider, violently plunged into the sea. Both horde` and rider were soon afloat, and as the horse continued to swim from the shore, the Colonel disengaged himsdlf from the animal. In this situation, the Colonel, undei great disadvantages, swam towards the shore, which he reached quite exhausted. Two Ladies who were walking, and saw the accident, fainted away ; and the* greatest anxiety was evinced for the gallant Officer's safety. The horse swam ashore, and was not stopped till it reached Broadstairs. At the late Leicester Sessions, Dr. John Kitson and Mrs. Jane Kitson, his wife, the former calling himself " the seventh son of the late Dr. Kitson, Practitioner in Physic," and the latter professing to have been born deaf and dumb, but who at length bas been fortunate enough to recover both faculties, were placed at the bar. John Martin examined—Keeps the Jolly Bacchus public-house, remembers the Gentleman and Lady" at the bar calling upon him on the 2d of June, wishing to have some liquor; while sitting in the house, Mrs. Martin, who was indisposed, arrested the attention of the a hmtleman," who said his wife would give him some stuff to make her well ; witness bargained for some of the stuff, for which he paid 2s. Sd. one half the sum first asked. A poor man who was present also bought a bottle for half-a-crown. Several witnesses proved that the Doctor and his Lady were impostors. They had circulated hand-bills, setting forth that they could cure all sorts of diseases. ThiSlconosa, after admonishing them upon their disgraceful course of life, adjudged them rogues and vagabonds, within the' Sta tute, and sentenced the Doctor to six months, and the Doctress to four months hard labour in the House of Correction. Tara LINCoLNSEHRE Marmon.—'The murderer of Mr. Wm. Berridge, who was found shot dead near Wraw ley, as mentioned in our Paper of Tuesday last, is said to be discovered. Early on the morning of the 23d, a person observed a youth named Wetherell, a chimney sweep, digging in his father's garden, not apparently having any useful object in view, and being a suspected character, he mentioned the circumstance to a Gentle man of Brigg, who caused the place to be searched.— After they had dug some time, a large horse-pistol was found, busing marks of having been recently fired. We therill was not in the house during the search, but was apprehended soon after in a hay-field adjoining the town. 'He was interrogated, but was sullen.

The Corporaricai of Bedford were invited to a splendid Dinner, at the Swan Inn, on Monday the 26th, to vele• brate the appointment of a Recorder. The son d Lord %%ILIA AM Roseau. received this delegated honour from' his cle, the Duke of B.b v ozD, whose personal at tendince was prevented from indisposition. The new L Deputy was unanimously called to the Chair, supported by his father,_ Lord WILLIAM RUSSELL , Lord JOUN RUSSELL, M.P. WILLIAM HEIM WHITBREAD, Esq. M.P. the worthy Mayor of the town, and a toll attend ance of thee Cm poration. After dinner the usual toasts of the King and Constitution were drank, with animated applause. The health of his Grace the Duke of BED FORD was drank with every feeling and sentiment of long and continued approbation, after which, Lord WILLIAM Rtsszw. rose, and returned his heartfelt thanks for their marked expressions of attachment to his family, and alluded to the circumstances of the day with most af fectionate energy, and regretted the cause of his bro ther's absence on the present occasion, so littering to himself, and so honourable to his son. The Chairman's health was proposed by GEORGE RACIIAN LEVIXS, Esq. on which he addressed the Meet ing in a neat and appropriate speech. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. Eliza Powell was opposed by Mr. POLLOCK, for Mr. Somers, an upholsterer. Benjamin Winter stated, that he knew the insolvent, and in December, 1822, he met her, when she asked him to procure lodgings for her, and to recommend her to an upholsterer for furniture. He accordingly took lodgings for her in Old Cavendish-street, and got Mr. Somers to supply her with furniture to the antount,of 117/. On asking her relative to her means of pay. ment, she said she had 1501. per annum settled on her by the late Marquis of Londonderry, and she also ex hibited to him a letter, relative to property, signed " Canning ;" she also declared that, as the widow of a Major, she was entitled to a pension of 501. per annum. She agreed to pay 201. down, and give promissory notes for the remainder, at 101 . per month. She has, how ever, only paid 1 51. in all. The Insolvent said she had offered the goods back, and at length sold them, except one article. The Insolvent and the witness were then examined .separately, and their testimony was very contradictory to each other. The former stated, she gave Mr. Somers 111. in money, and a 101. bill. •Relative to the bill which had got into Winter's hands, the Court said, it was impossible to detain the Insolvent on the testimony of such a witness as Winter. Mr. Commissioner Haaais.--.For my part I see no difference between Wiador and ihompeer—(A laugb). The Insolvent was then declared entitled to her discbarge. J. D. Pearce was opposed by Mr. Pot.t.ocx, on behalf of several creditors. It appeared that the insolvent was a tailor, carrying on business in a limited way at Staines, and in the course of nine months received cloth from Messrs. Smith and Perry to the amount of 28111. at a time when another creditor held his warrant of attor ney, and when he was enable 'to take up his bills re gularly. It did not appear, however, that he had made any misrepresentation to obtain credit, or had even soli cited it; but he had been swindled out of 1001. worth of goods by a person who represented himself to be the private secretary of the Marquis of Cunyngham, and who was remanded by this Court for 18 months a few weeks ago. The Cotter observed, that they always drew a dis tinction between a ease of fraudulent misrepresentation and one in•which the insolvent had been incautious in incurring debts, without a reitoirabloprospeet of being able to meet them. In the * present case, the insolvent had not been guilty of any m isrepresentation whatever; but he had certainly contracted this debt with Messrs. 'Smith and Perry, without a reasodable expectation of being able to repay it. However, he bad already been in close confinement for a considerable length of time, and the judgment of the Court was, that he should not be 'discharged out of custody at the snit of Messrs: Smith and Perry for nine calendar months from the date of filing his petition ; of which period otrly about six vain remained unexpired.

Tuesday, Henry Harcourt Wynne Aubrey, Se t of Clehoiger,* in the county of Hereford, and formerly of the Royal Regimert o( Horse Guards (Blue), applied to the sitting Magistrates for a war. rant to apprehend a man named Carter, who had obtained posses. sion of a most valuable miniature of his wife, under pretence of get. ting it repaired, and illegally detained it. On bearing the circumstances of the case, the Magistrate granted a warrant for the apprehension of the party concerned, which was placed in the hands of that active Officer, Perry, who . succeeded in capturing the party. At an early hour yesterday morning, ,jr. Aubrey again appeared at this Office, and stated that, owing to the exertions of the officer, the miniature had been delivered up, and was then in the bands of the officer. He thetefore rtquesise the llagistrate would discharge the warrant, as he had no wish to proceed further against the man, which the Magistrate agreed t o . The worthy Magistrate, J. B. Haus, Esq. on examining the m*. niature, complimented Mr. Aubrey on having so beautiful a wife and jocosely observed, that it was far better the man should tu away with the miniature than with the Lady herself. GUILDHALL Dogs are among the animals which the criminal law of ri land considen maims oalo•is : to steal a dog therefore is tot a felony. An adventitious value, however, has been given to them by the statute of 10 Geo. 111. cap. 18, under which 7'. Baps and H. Niglaingok were yesterday charged before the Loan llatos and Alderman LUCAS, with stealing a curious little anim il, more than tea inches in length, though two years and a half the property of Mr. Collerton, of Hawkeshury Cottage, INalwnrth. Mr. Collerton was walking, accompanied by two Ladies, hi Fle.t. market, when the prisoners snatched up the dog and ran up 1/Ink Horso-court. The Ladies [allowed him, crying " Stop thief!" and Mr. Collerton ran to Fleet-street, to meet them at the other end a the Court, but they got clear off; not, however, without being ob served by a lioy named Isles. From his description, the prisoners, who were notorious dog hawkers, usually to be found on the North side of St. Paul's Churchyard, were apprehended; and, on the evidence of Isles, were committed for six months each, hi default of paying a penalty of £2O. Mr. Collerton had previously regained his little favourite, by paying a reward of two solaces. HATTON-GARDEN. j. Norris, a Mulatto, was charged with stealing a cart, containing haberdashery, and other goods value 5001. from a barn detached from the Cross Keys Inn, at Caxton, Cambridgeshire, the property of W. Steward, a hawker. The circumstantial evidence was suceez against him, and he was remanded. QUEEN-SQUARE. Mrs. Hells was summoned for cruelty to animalf. Mr. Abraham•, of Peter-atreet, built a stable at the back of his house, the entry to which was through a court. On Monday. evening, in leading his horse up this court, it was attacked by Mrs. Halls, with a pieced wood about the head, until the blood ran in torrents. In defence, Mrs. Halls said, the defendant assailed her with many opprobrin3 epithets, and struck her; it was a paved court, and the horse bad no right that way. Mr. Maaat.mos believed that she had been urged to it by the inhabitants •f the court, but that was no reason why the poor animal should suffer ; and, as a caution, she should this time pay the costs, 9s. 6d. and be discharged.—A female then said, Mr. Abrahams bad backed the horse through her window. How was she to get reparation?—" Get it repaired," said the Ma gisuate.—The parties withdrew, about forty in number. UNION-HALT. The new Vagrant Act was yesterday (for the first time) put let" operation by the Magistrates of this office, and it was extremely well applied. Upwards of seventy cadgers (beggars) and prostitutes, who have long infested Kent-street, in the parish of Newingter, and been in the habit of sallying out in the night to commit all sacs of depredations, and in the day to practise begging, were the per. sons judiciously selected for the experiment of the new Act. The acridicers of the establishment, wick Hall, the chief their head, besieged the head-quarters of this gang of despe rate vapbonds. The scenes hitherto exhibited of " Life in Leaden," ill infinitely short of the exhibitions of Kent -street, yesterday morning, between the hours of twelve and three. Inn Wallace, a girl of fifteen years of age ; Maria Doris, an et. deny woman ; a girl turned fourteen years of age; and Mary ra•sy, an incorrigible prostitute, nearly forty years of age,were sommitted to Brixton mill for a month each. Two very decent looking young women were nest examined.— The officers stated, that they had apprehended them together in bed, at one of those vile houses in Kent -street; they behaved very well en being taken into custody, and were not known to any of the °Seen present. The girls stated, that they bad only just istt their situations, and were enticed into the house by some women, who described the life of a girl of the town as a life of pleasure and gaiety; they had a mind to try the experiment, and this was a specimen of the pleasures. If they were suffered to depart nue they would take care in future and keep their places. The Magistrate, in discharging these two young women, point'rl out to them the destruction which inevitably attends a nate aro 'citation; they that day saw sufficient examples to deter them Iron embarking in inch a We of misery. On leaving the bar they shed tears, and appeared to feel deeply impressed with the advice they had received. Several women were committed for one month each to Bilges, and those who had the advantage of a peaceable character in dux " calling," were discharged with an admonition. The men were now putt. the bar, most of wham were identifiPi as rogues and vagabonds; they were committed for one meE each to the House of Correction. An action for breach of promise d marriage was tried at Danville, in Vermont, on the 11th ult. and after a trial which lasted twelve hours, the Jury gave a verdict for the fair plaintiff of 825 dollars damages, and costs, which was considered the full amount of the de• fendaut's property. About two centuries ago, the Sheriffs of Yorkshire were often attended to the Assizes by 300 horse; all their relatives and dependants malting a point of joining the procession. Even in the frugal and unshewy period of the Cotnrnonwealtb, it se 'pearethat the train of a Puritan Sheriff of Lancashire consisted of 140 horse. _ _ ----- Swlss•Hanotass.—ln 1499, during the wars of Sol- Ma., an heroic act was performed in a skirmish near Werdenberg, by a Swiss named Jehan Vonvals. This gallant _soldier made head alone, and defended a pass against twenty men at arms. He bad already overthrown three of them with his pike, when the others, usturdshed at his valour, promised him good quarter, took his tack with them into their camp, and returned him without doing him the least harm. He had more generous foes to deal with tips Ulric Rothac, of Appensel.
