COURT CIRCULAR. • 1- on the ',Tine radon inpe- iaica. an,; ;Ws. r her come 'ung, ;ben, The Duke of Cum BERLAND arrived in town yester day afternoon from a visit to his Majesty, at the Royal Lodge, in Windsor Park. The Earl of ROSSLYN, Viscount GRANVILLE, and Mr. Clow, transacted business yesterday at the Foreign Office. Mr. VESEY FITZGERALD came to town on Monday [raft the residence of the CIWICILLOR of the EXCUICQUIII, near Dorking. The Spanish Minister was occupied nearly two hours yesterday afternooo, at the nice of the Secretary of State for Foreip Affairs. The French Charge d'Affaires transacted business on Tuesday at the Foreign Oilke. The Chairman of the Commissioners of the Board of seise, sod the Chairman of the Commissioners of the Board of amps, bad interviews with the CLAINSLLOA of the EXClllellti , a t e rday, at the Treasury.

The Marquis DOURO arrived in town on Tuesday evening from a visit to his father, at Walmer-castle, Kent. The Lords of his Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council held a meeting yesterday morning in the Privy Council Chamber. Those present were—Lord We XFORD i the Judge of the Admiralty Coast, and the Right Hon. H. Ectscre. The appeal of Sayers m Whitfield from St. Vincent's, which had occupied their Lordships at the previous meetings, was resumed. The respondents were heard on their exceptions to the master's report. One of the excefttions was, that the salary of $OOl. per annum charged in the appellants' accounts, as paid to Messrs. Hush and C. Sayers for their services, as anoraks to the estate in the island of St. Vincent, toge ther with the requisites of residence and servants oo the estate, was too large in comparison with that paid to the former managers. which was much smaller, without any advantages. Lord Weenies, In expressing their lordships' opinion that the exception should be allowed, observed, that by the evidence it appeared that it was not a question of quantum mend, as to the services of the attor neys, as, by the report of the master, he appeard to have con sidered it by allowing the mortgagees 7001. per annum in the Sc. count as paid to the attorney ; whereas, according to the evidence, but 4001. bad been paid yearly to Mr. Sayers. The master ought to have decided by the facts. Another exception was, that the ac counts rendered by the appellants dike produce of the estates were not supported by the affidavits of the principals, Messrs. Sayers and Gordon. but merely by those of their clerks, who could not person ally be informed of the correctness of certain of the items ; and also that. while it could be proved that all the other estates in the islands produced 194 per hogshead for their sugar, the respondents gave credit in their accounts at the rate of 131. per hogshead. Lord Wynford, on the part of the court, decided that the exception should be allowed, and the parties sent back to the Master to inquire fur ther into the accounted the sales of sugar. The last exception was to a transaction which was alleged by the respondents to be usu rious. This was not allowed. The exceptions to the report having been concluded on the pan of the respondents, the exceptions by the appellants to the same report came on for baring. Five excep tions were argued before their Lordships—the third was allowed, but without costs; the fourth was compromised by an agreement between the parties. At four o'clock their Lordships adjourned the further bearing of the case: FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. CHANGES.

DISCOVERY OF A £lOO BANK-NOTE.-011 Tues day morning, a man named Childs, one of the labourers employed in clearing away the earth and rubbish at the foundation of the bundle's recently pulled down between Denmark Court and the Strand, struck the prop& of his pickaxe through a piece of lows paper, and which, io all probability. would have shared the com mon fate of the rubbish. had not,his auention been arrested by a peculiar black mark at one end, which induced Mm to care fully release the paper from the instrument, but Dot being able to read, be was at a loss to ascertain the exact value of the paper, untU observing a gentleman who daily frequents the ground in search of antiquities. he showed it to him, and to his great our- Ow was told that it was an " bunched pound note," a real Abraham Newland, bearing date I 7911. Childs posted off with his best speed sp the Bank of England, where, to his great disappoint meat and mongcstlon, be discovered that it had been stopped about thirty years back, upon an affidavit of the person who lost it, and had been paid under a bond of indemnity. Shortly after wards, at samba pan of she ground. one of the workmen dis covered a quantity of wine in plat bottles, which proved to be of excellent quality. h • _ LITERATURE, the FINE ARTS, DRAMA, 4.c. I shall not describe the particulars of the obsequies which took place upon this melancholy occasion (du deeds V the Dues DE Bonne). The affliction of the Parisians was profound : it was shared by all France. All the different bodies of the State came to lay at the feet of the King the expression of their grief and their attachment. Their addresses were in general noble and affecting. The King answered with an admirable dignity—" I see with pleasure," said he to the Deputation from the Chamber ' 1 4 Deputies, that the Chamber is disposed to concur in my views in this unfortunate circumstance. A mad In heart. a King in duty,let it not be doubted that I adopt the necessary measures to preserve France from the danger which the deed of this day gives me but too much reason to fear." To the Municipal Body of the City of Paris be answered : "It is only the love of my subjects which can In any way alleviate the profound grief I feel. The day after the assassination of the Duke drk Berry, a most heart-breaking scene took place at the Tuileries : the Duke de Bourbon came to offer his consolations to Monsieur. This vene rable personage was conjured to adjourn an interview which could not GU to make his heart bleed afresh. " No," was his reply, " I am more able !ban any other individual to console my Cousin in a misfortune which I have expel kneed before him." But the doors of the apartment were hardly opened, when the strength of the Duke de Bourbon failed him : Nlensieur threw himself forward to support him; and these two unfortunate Fathers remained a long while clas ped in each others arms. The Duke de Bour bon went afterwards to Louis XVIII. The composure of the King tranquillised him a little : the conversation was calm, hut often interrupted by the tears of the aged father of the Duke d'Engkien. On a sudden, he remembered that the Cabinet in which they then were, was the very one where the sentence of death bad been signed against his son ; at this horrible recollection, he could no longer retain his feelings ; he got up, pressed in silence the hand of Louis XVIII. and withdrew. The King, besides the grief which the death of Isis nephew caused him, found himself in the most cruel embarrassment : all the Royalists of every description, the Members of his Family, pressed round the throne, crying aloud, " Justice! vengeance for the assassination of the Duke de Berry!" But on whom ought this vengeance to fall? The emigrants accused the proprietors of national estates Weis nationory):—the clergy, the incredulous and the philosophers ;—the ultra royalists accused the ►iberals en masse, and insisted almost on another Saint Bartholomew.—" Justice shall be done," answered Louis XVIII. s• but let us first find out the guilty. How punish, without knowing them? Assist me to discover them, and the moiety of the Prince shall be avenged. But don't ask proscriptions of me : justice punishes, but does not proscribe; and even grief does not excuse injustice."—Mertsears d'une femme de f Maar Air Louis XVIII. as Cour is SOM rove. George 111., King of England, died 29th January, 1520. When this intelligence was announced at Court, I was with his Majesty. " George III." said I to Louis XVIII. " has at length termi nated a very troublesome career. lie laboured under an aberra tion of the mind." " His reign," rejoined Louis XVIII. 0 has resolved a great problem, namely, the advantage of a Giusti tutioual Monarchy. England was never so powerful as within the last thirty years—that is, since the mental aberration of George III." " Would you by that insinuate, Sire." I asked, smiling, " that all Kings ought to be insane?" '• No. cer tainly not, Madam ; no. I only wanted to show you that that equilibrium of various powers has checked all ambitious views at a period when they might have been dangerous. Fancy to yourself an insane King in an absolute monarchy. Look at Charles VL ;—he had an adulterous wife ; brothers and relations disputed his authority ; a foreign and a civil war raged in France ; —there never was a period when the people were inure unbappy,and the throee so near its overthrow. 'that was a fine time tor abso lutism. The English Constitution has prevented the reign of Charles VI. from being renewed by George 111. He was," con tinued Louis XVIII. " a good natured King—a farming King ! possessing few Royal virtues, hut all those belonging to a domestic life. He loved his consort like a citizen : be che rished his children, for which some made an ungrateful return : it might even be said that his alienation of mind proceeded from his paternal tenderness."—" How so, Sire ?"—" One of his daughters, Princess Amelia, was in the last agonies of death when George 111. came to embrace her on her death-bed: she put on his linger a ring on which she set great value. The unhappy father under stood at once what this present meant. He could no longer subdue the grief he felt : his head, already weak, was effected—his reason abandoned him altogether."—" He must have been adored," said I, " by all his subjects!"—" Yes—he ought to have been so; and yet his life was four times attempted!"—" It is horrible!"— " What is singular in all this," rejoined Louis, " is, that this un fortunate Prince invariably implored forgiveness for his assassins, saying they were inane."—Memoirs dine Fames de Qualige Sur Louis xria as Our es son reps. THE DRAMA. " We understand that nothing has yet been settled as to the re-opening of Covent-garden theatre. Several persons have offered to take it for the nest season, and amongst them is Mr. Laurent, the manager of the Italian Theatre in Park, who is said to have offered 8,0001. per annum, but there are difficulties in the way which will not easily be removed. It is understood that if Mr. Laurent should take the theatre. in addition to the usual dra matic entertainments, moat of the operas of Rossini and other emi nent composers of the Italian and German schools, will be brought out in an English drew, and that the singers will be chiefly, if not exclusively, natives of this country. Considering that it is impos sible for both of the patent theatres to play tragedy and comedy well, it is very desirable to see one of them strong in the operatic department. A numerous corps de ballet would, it is rumoured, also be attached to the theatre if under the management of Lau rent."—.4ll the Papers. Thus we have a prospect at last of possessing a respectable na tional opera, and after throwing every obstacle in the way of Mr. Arnold, proprietor of the Lyceum, who was the first to conceive the laudable project of establishing a regular theatre of this kind, we talk with the greatest indifieresice of bestowing one of London's eyes (Covent-garden) on a foreigner, for the very purpose the Lord Chamberlain and an apathetic public have continued to thwart in Arnold. Sensible of out' deficiency in this branch of the Drama, so warmly encouraged by the rest of Europe — conscious that the population of London could afford to support a theatre of this description—calculating that national pride would promote his efforts, and that the republic of letters would cheer him on, that gentleman built the present theatre in the &rand--enctsuraged writers and musicians to try their skill in the composition of Eng lish Opera—engaged actors at the highest salaries, and first taught our theatrical vocalists that something more is expected from them on the stage, than the mere warbling of the throat— What has been his recompense? Authority leaguing against the Improvement of national, mudcal, and dramatic composition, has illiberally upheld monopoly in the great Theatres, and rejected every prayer be has made to obtain a patent for his house! Con fined to a mere license, at the pleasure of the ,Chamberlain, which restricts him in the representation of regular opera to three months of the dead season,—that is to say, when the fashionable people have kit town ;—and thus unencuuraged, he Is doomed to fight his way with this infant drama, at the manifest risk of his fonuae ! Would it nut rather be for the honour of the nation to reward the long persevering enterprise of this gentleman, by build ing him a butte that would do credit to the capital of Great &Ude, instead of condemning English opera to ob ocurity,..ond then making a pretext of Ibis very obscurity to patronise exclusively the rapacious strangers of the Italian House,—the success of whose establishment is so great a dete rioradon to British poetry sad music? We say it is scanda lous so liberally to support Italian and French Theatres, while our own English Opera is allowed to languish In its rely commence ment,—crushed even by the authority whose duty it is to promote the arts amongst us. If Tragedy and Comedy alone are not au& dent to support two Theatres in a metropolis like this, then let us at once admit our inferiority in dramatic taste, and dramatic talent. Are the Youngs, the Keana, and the Kemhies--the Listons and the Keekys; not enough for lhsry lane and Covent-garden, that they must also have the &shams, the &pits, the Plaillires, and the rest ? It is really as absurd as unconacionable.Pantomine, melodrama, and ballet, holding a place in the dramatic class the nearest to Opera, might not inconsistently be represented on a stage devoted particularly to this description of drama. But your Grimaldi, your Mathews and Yates, your Brabam and ballet dancer., are a disgrace to theatres that should be sacred to the genius of Shakspeare did his school. THE CURATE OF THE VILLAGE. U. P. da Costa. living in a country house belonging to hltn near Guintaraes in the province of Minim, received last month at his hews DI. J. da Costs, his brother, who having spent six months in the mountains de Morse to evade peraecution from the sanguinary kliguclites. fell at kngth dangerously ill. Id. P. da Costa seeing that his brother's life was in imminent danger, went himself to the Curate of the parish to give an account of it, requesting spiritual assistance and the Holy Sacrament for the sick. The Curate, thunderstruck at this intelligence. answered, I that he could not, in his holy capacity, attend a Fret Mum I ex. comnittuicated by the Church, and whose soul ought to be a prey to all the devils !!! In fact, the poor man died in the mane of a few days without being confessed. His brother addressed himself again to the Cu rate,requesting the body might be interred, but he refused. " ory your brother yourself, where you think proper," s aid the Curate ;" he cannot repot tio consecrated ground : the soul if the deceased is gene to the devil, and the body will go the same way. He will come and disinter it, and carry it away—be sore of that." In short, the body was interred under a tree, in an inclosure not far front the house ; but LH. da Costa, suspecting some underhand work no the part of the Curate, related this adventure to one of his friends, a simpleton, but a good natured fellow, who offered to ac company bins to defend the body of his brother front the grasp of the devil during the three first Nights. They armed themselves with fowling-pieces, and concealed themselves behind VIMe hushes—at the distance of a gun-shot. The Devil did not tarry loog before be arrived. The Curate, travestied in the character of the demon, with two large horns on his head, and covered with a goat-skin, approached with a faithful servant, both armed with spades. in order to disinter the body, and with a view to propagate the rumour the neat day that " the devil had got hold of the free mason." But Fate, which disposes, in its own way, of poor mor tals as well as of priests, ordained otherwise. The peasant who accompanied N. de Costa knew the beast by his mark, and sud denly panic-struck crossed himself, invoked his guardian angel, and in GOD'S name fired away at the Devil, who fell dead on the spot. The infernal servant had the good luck to escape; but a great number of people arrived, and the assassin was taken along with his friend. The good nun boasted at having killed a large devil with large horns : tapers are lighted,—an investigation takes place,—the servant of the devil, who had been arrested, confesses every thing ; but the two prisoners were sent to the, prison at Oporto. However, the imprudence of the Ministers of Aligutl is such that a judgment has been pronounced, :o the effect that the assassins of the devil are to be sent to Angola. not as ins, but as disturbers of the peace ; and it was strialy ordered that the particulars of the trial should not transpire, and that all the paters relative thereto should be sent to Lisbon, to be kept a profound secret. TIIE FRENCII CLERGY. In a new wotk concerning 4, the Errors and Prejudices spread in the 18th and 19:h Centuries." by M. Salgues, the following picture is drawn of the French Clergy in winding up his Essay : At the moment I am writinx, a sort of vertigo agitAtes the sacristies and the seminaries. The young Clergy and the new Bishop meditate a religious revolution. Their passions are fer menting under the cloak of devotion, anti because Providence has placed a religious Prince on the Throne, these men, de voured by ambition, say to each oche. Let U 4 profit of that mo ment to seise again the power which the !rightful IL volts don took away Irom us : let us talk of the good things of Heaven, that we ntay recover the good things of the earth ; let us endeavour to raise the tiara above the Crown ; let attempt to extinguish that flame of intelligence *MA Goo himself has kin dled in the hearts of the people ; let us, if possible, real the dark ness which is dissipated among men whom fatal light has readered averse to slavery ; let us fill their minds with vain and chimerical dreams ; let us revive those pious frauds which our forefathers used hi the barbarous ages ; let us astonish the ignorant and cre dulous inukitude with magical wonders ; let us fill the schools with our muter. and our books only; let us mike fools and bigots of them, and by this folly and bigotry let us become, as formerly, the arbiters of the human race." U. Salgues, who in these words concludes his work, knows well enough the people he has to deal with, and is prepared for the hatred he will draw on himself :—•• I foresee (he says) all the abuse this work will brirg on me ; I know all the poison the language of lake devotees conceals. They have already, on another occasion, heaped on me the most odious calm :des. Like the Laocoon of Virgil, I have resolved to save my country from the scourge which it is intended to inflict upon it : lake him, I must expect to be devoured by serpents." FRENCH WINE TRADE. The Mchnerial fliorrdelais publishes the following article on the state of the wine trade ite the neighbourhood of Bourdeauz : " The embarrassments which wire teremen and predicted are already showing themselves in the receipt of the direct taxes ; such is the effect of the fatal combination of the direct tax on wines with the direct tax on vine., that the former, in limiting the consumption, stops and suspends the payment of the latter. On Sunday last, the 12th instant, a proprietor at Queyries, whose devotion to corder and the Royal Family is as incomestible as the exorbitance and vexatiousness of the indirect taxes, saw two tuns of his wine of 1828 sold in the place de la !Semitic. at the re quest of the Collectors, for the payment of some tweliths (Mc: , due of his land tax. At a preceding sale, these wines had found nu buyers; bet on the 17th, after being two hours on sale, they were sold to the only bidder, who offered 108 trance fur the Mat tun, and 1W fur the second ; that is, ab..ut six centimes for a bottle of iluurdeaus. Now it has been proved, by the details of the expense attending the making of a tun of wine, that it does not cost less than 164 f. 7k. There was, therefore, a real loss of 54f. 75c. on each of these tuns. The owners of the vineyards have demonstrated, by undeniable documents, and can now de monstrate by the price of their produce, sold by auction at the direction of the Collectors, that our vines, which formerly consti tuted the riches of Frame, make a loss of thirty per cent. on the expense of their cultivation • and while their wines are sold, at Bourdeaz fur 110 francs, t he same wine costs In Paris more than 400 francs; and the tax.gatherer receives out of this price about three-fourths, somewhere about three huudred francs. Ile owners of the vineyards do not ask for an increase of duty on foreign wines to support their trade ; they ask for the repeal of the exclusive duties; they ask Ls be re.admitted into the exercise of their common rights. The *Minister replies to their prayers with sarcasm and contempt. We call on our adversaries to explain themselves categorically; we call upon Al. Roy, during the short time given him to administer the finances, to tell us whether the owners of vineyards ought to be considered as colonists whom we protect, as Frenchmen whom we favour, or as rebels whom we punish by a spoliating tribute, for having been the first to hoist • white nag, on which 14 written' God, save the King?'

A few soft looks, a w ilk, a 44111 Cr, a sq of the hand, a pupping of the que.tion, a purchasing of a certain number of yard. ut white satin, a ring, a clergyman, a stage or two in a hired carriage, a night at a country lam, and the whole matter is uver. Fur five or sit weeks, two sheepish-looking persons are seen dangling about on each other's arm, looking a: waterfalls, or making morning calls, and guzzling wane and cake ; then every thing falls into the most monotonous routine ; the wafe sits at one side of the hearth, the husband at the other, and little quarrels, little pleasures, little cares, and little children, gradually gather round them. This is what ninety-nine out of a hundred find to be the delights of love and matrimony.—Ediriburgla Lamers Journal. _ _ _ COMPRESSED WAISTS.— The voting ladies of Me dina county (United States), among other means of preventing the too frequent use of ardent spirits, have resolved, that they will not receive the addressees of any young gentleman who is in the habit of using spirituous liquors.

Will it be believed that certain persons, dressed in a little brief authority, have presumed to lay hands on the sacred person, as Lady Margaret Ballenden'would ay. of his Majesty King Charles, and have actually sent his Majesty to jail? For some years his Majesty, owing to his own growing infirmities, and those of his liucephalus, has withdrawn from public life, and his proprr station in the l'arliament Square, (to the great mortifi cation of loyalgreenhorns from the country,) given up equestrian honours, and retired, as many a pious man did of old, into the odours of sanctity ; that is to say, took up his residence amidst the damps of St.Giles's cathedral. Certain persons, however, under pretence of executing what they call imptovements, have encroached upon his cell, and not content wilt turning him out of it, have laid him in limbo. The story, to use Byron's phrase, •• is trite, as any truth has been of late." The equestrian statue of Charles the Second, which erst stood proudly on its pedestal in the Parliament Square, was recently lodged in a booth on the south side of the cathedral, and this having been taken down, the thought it semi, struck the person in authority to send the statue to such a tenement as nothing royal, it is to be hoped, ever lodged in be fore—to Bridewril! The governor, a prudent man, being at a loss bow to treat such a prisoner, perhaps having the terrors of the sta. tute-bouk before his eyes, and not brio; sure whether some portion of the divinity that dothhedge a living king, might not attach to his leaden representative, refused to take in the figure without a written order from a magistrate. The magistrates, we may WO.. pose, had their misgivings, and were too wary to commit them selves. The order was not forthcoming ! and as a derider resort the statue was sent to the jail, the governor of which, it may be presumed, was found to be a less scrupulous man titan he of the neighbouring alifice.--Edinisirgh Paper.
