QUEEM : ` ‘! Kew, Sunday " The Qtrzem still continues without any very material recurrence of the more malevolent symp toms of her disease, though they have not so entirely subsided as to allay the apprehension of their instant i , return, and in consequence no relaxation in the attendant arrangements has taken place, except the visit of Sir HENRY HALFORD to Windsor, which is rendered necessary by the indisposition of the Princess Surma. In every other respect the arrangemenu of the Palace manifest undiminished apprehension of the catastrophe. Her MAJESTY is now incapable of recognizing any person whatever, or of altering her position in any degree without assistance, nor does she even attempt to articulate her wishes. The Duke of YORK visited the Palace this day, on his way to Windsor. The PRINCE REGENT has not been at Kew' since Thursday night, but reports are hourly sent tol Carlton House."

The 18th is or dered to Yorkshire. , RAMSGATE, NOVEMBER 15. Arrived last evening,.and in the course of the night, from Cakis, upwards of twenty vesselrof dif• ferent descriptions, with horses and men of the 9th Hussars, 18th Light Dragoons, and Artillery Drivers, with several of the Royal Waggon Train. Our har bour is to-day a scene of great bustle ; but from the great accommodation which it afford% almost the whole of the transports are landing their horses at one and the same time ; and it is with pleasure we observe them to be in .good condition, considering the roughness of the passage across. Lord UXBRIDGE, son . of 'the gallant Marquis of ANGLESEA, with Co lonels Sir EDWARD KERRISOS and THORNHILL, of the 7th Hussars, were landed out of one of the trans ports last evening, when they were welcomed to Old, England again by Sir Wm. CURTIS, who is here with his family. More transports are looked for here with troops irons C4lai;, this evening's tide. Above five thousand French women, of all ages and descriptions, followed the British Army to Ca lais ; the anas d arried ones, who formed no inconside, rable portion, were sent back to their respective com munes. The MuniCipal Authorities had prohibited, lilt sale of all spiiitotis liquors in the harbour ; not the slightest disturbance occurred at the embarkation of the troops. A young and interesting female was discovered in male attire, endeavouring to pass on ship-board with the soldiers. Oa examination, it came out that she belonged to a respectable family. and that to personal attractions she added the quirements of education, but that s!le had not been able to Al ithstand the temptations of an illicit inter• course with a private soldier ; her grief and agony exceeded all description when site 'found that, not withstanding her supplications and remonstrances, she was not allowed to continue her route. Orders were issued to re•conduct her to her family ; but at ili -time in which the letter containing this account left Calais, she was in a state of delirium.—Of wo-I men, who had become the wives of English soldiers, there had beenernbarked, up to the Bth inst. nearly 1508, with above 1800 children.

Several Others arc preiaring follow them in the ensuing Spring, rho ir.tcni to attempt the establishment of mantrfaccories on t'ic banks of the Ohio ; and certainly, notwithstanding v.hat may be said to the contrary, the accounts that are almost daily received here, by the friends and relatives of those who have from time to time emigrated from hence, are flattering in the extreme ; and I cannot 'learn of even a single instance of individual dissatis faction. Nevertheless, as my friend Mr. B—ic says, a I advise no man to emigrate who feels himself com fortable at home." arly on Saturday morning an alarming fire broke out in the drying-house of Mr. COLLIER, sizer, in Tipping, Court, Manchester, which at onetime (from the contiguity of the extensive 'warehouses, stockcd with all descriptions of valuable goods), threatened the most alarming consequences : but, by the very prompt arrival of the new and powerful engine be longing to the Norwich Union Office, aided by a plen tiful supply of water, the fire was confined to the premises in which it originated. The whole of the drying•house, however, was consumed, together with a considerable quantity of goods. It is not known how the fire originated.

He was immediately conducted to Mr. CAP FIR of the Home IX-partruent's house, Vanxhall walk, whence he was, in a few hours afterwards, conveyed to Harwich or Dover, to be embarked there for the Continent. Tag STOLEN CHILD. I No intelligence had arrived at the Public Office, in Bow -street, late last night, either of the apprehension of Charles Rennet, or Mr. Horsley's missing child. Rennet's wife is committed to the Houk of Correc tion, as an accessary td stealing the infant. Her sister was admitted to visit her yesterday by an order from Mr. Binstr, to ivhotn she applied for it. A considerable bnstle prevailed at the Office the whole of Saturday, and messengers were running to and fro in quest of intelligence upon the sis,ject.— The Office was much crowded by 1)n:on% an sinus to learn whatever might transpire. At three o'clock Mr. ALLr.v came to the Office to request o• Mr. Bea vte, wlra had committed the girl Elizabeth Hol brook, to detain her until Monday or Tuesday, when he trusted that both tie child and the thief would he forthcoming. The Learned Councel stated the grounds for the application to be these s—A letter had been received from a gentleman at Dover. stating that it had been ascertained beyond all doubt that the man, of whom.the officers were in pursuit, had embarked on Tuesday last for Calais from Dover ) having with him the lost child. Mr. BIRYIC observed, that since the course was pretty accurately ascertained, no doubt could be en tertained but the Officers. he had first dispatcßed would (or had in all human calculation) soon have the delinquent in custody. He regretted that Mr. Horsley had not taken his advice upon the intimation of the occurrence, for had he so done he would, as it had turned out, have succeeded in apprehending hint at Gravesend or Canterbury. Should, however, the three officers, whom he had dispatched at the outset, fail in their enterprise, no doubt Taunton, who was a good French scholar, would succeed, for he had set off upon Ccvcrnment business on Friday morn ing, and h ; e (Mr. Birnie) had, most particularly en treated him to spar? neither trouble, expense, nor activity ht his pursuit. Mr. Birnie also observed, that he was very happy to inform Mr. Alley, that the offender had not seduced Elizabeth Holbrook, who was, to say the bast ofher, a peer stupid creator,. Mr. At.tt:v said, if the thief should turn out to be Charles Rennett, he understood that he was respect ably allied. In the course of the morning, a lady inquired at the Office, who reported the proceedings in the Morning Papers? as, she said, all those accounts which charged Charles Rennett with being the per son who stole the child, were gross, infamous, and scandalous libels • and as he was bet relation, she would prosecate:the authors of the report. BREAKING OPEN TUE QUEEN'S BALACRS..-Very 'late on Saturday night an intimation was given at Row -street, that the Queen's,Palace, St. James's, had been broken open ; and, accordingly, both Towns end and Sayers were dispatched to Buckingham- House, where they ascertained that every precaution had been taken by the Gentlemen Porters in waiting to prevent the possibility of any person escaping out of the Palace, after the alarm was given till their ar rival. The o ffi cers now directed that every avenue leading out of the Palace should be properly sects red, and they proceeded to search every part of it, with the outbuildings, gardens, tce. but no robber was to be found, nor any trace of one. The circum stances that have transpired respecting the breaking open of the Palace are, that about half past 9 o'clock on Saturday night, as one of the housemaids, of the name of Buckland, entcpxl a room on the second floor, on the north end of the back front of the Pa lace, adjoining the Qireeti's wardrobe room, for the purpose of closing the window-shutters, she, by the light of the candle, to her great surprise, observed the window open, the furniture in -a state of great confusion, the drawer, in tr.() chests, forced (Ten . , and three cf them upon the floor, from which ap, pearances she had nc doubt but that there had been thieves in the room ; she, in consequence, closed the door again, while calling out thieves, Ecc. Tbis brought Mr. Tilcke, who sleeps i:: the.t room when her MakFty is n- it in tile Palace, and his son, Mr, Va!tc, to her assistance. The drasve:-s had been turn ned out, but the property stolen and carried off could not be a s certained. It appeared that the robbers had entered the room by the window, which has two pri vate spring fastenings ; but whether the latter had been attended to, could not be ascertained. The entry had been made.by a ladder, which was found placed against the till of the window, and belonged to some : workmen now employed ia repairing the Palan, but. whose work had been finished some days. The rob bers, to make it answer the purpose, it not being bong enough, had made a temporary scaffolding -men a werking-stool to place it upon ; and; in fact, theta is some suspicion that the robbers were.actually in, the' room at the time Mrs. Beekland entexed k, and then made a preFipitate retreat. ToWnsend and Sayers, although so long, and well experienced in . such trans actions, were not able so discovrr how die robbers en tered the Palace, or an'y pait. adjoining, it, nor the. way , they made, their escape.- s tiir SAIWer. CON A :sr, in consenitence, went .to.the Palace yesterday, about two o'clock, and pregeeded esaadne the apart ments that.hadiseep broken alto. and The parties who had any knowledge of the transaction ; but the whole. remains a mystery. A few nights since St. James's Palace was -broken open, and the apartments occupied by Miss Wittor- Testes, .)laid of Honour to the QUEEN, entered, and a box broken open, its contents and other property in • a state ready for packing up : but it is supposed the robbers were disturbed, and they made a precipitate retreat without carrying off .any booty. They had entered the Palace in St. James's Park. CORN EXCHANGE, : MARK-!A NE, NOV. 16.
