PROGRAMME An. 'TIE FIRST OPENING ENTERTAINMENT TO RE ELD AT 'nil , . NEW LODGE OF TUE GREAT PORTER AT sIYDE PARK GATE. First.—The visitors arriving at seven, are to be received in the court by three companies of feet—a squadron of hone, and piece of heavy artillery, with lighted matches, commanded by veterans distinguished at the Manchester Massacre, and the superb " feu de joie" in honour of the late Queen's funeral. Next, lining the passages and staircases, three companies of the New Police Grenadiers, armed with Congreve rockets, and battle axes. com manded by Sir Hamar HAZIMiCIi, dressed like a Hetman of Cos sacks.—On the first landing-place, a company of poor Knights and Beefeaters, in new uniforms—borrowed for the occasion from Windsor Castle. In the Hall of Audience, gorgeously decorated, in a second-hand chair of state, once appertaining to NAPOLEON BUSAPAaTg, before which, the statue of the quondam hero, laid prostrate, serves as a footstool—the great Porter, dressed in ; purple robes, will receive his guests. Ist.—Tbe Foreign Ambassadors, each between two trumpeters blowing a flourish, are to be ushered into his august presence— when they, in succession, will thank him, in the names of their re spective masters, in long set speeches, for his very disinterested and obliging policy. Prince Unveil, in particular, will thank him for the possession of Turkey—and EITZIMIAZY for 'sew Italy and old systems. The Pore's Secret Envoy, and his Excellency the Marquis n'Asszca, the first in grand pontificalibus,—the oche in the new splendid uniform of the Heromoos-do-coridades o the Holy Portuguese Inquisition.—are to kiss his person sessewhere in the name of Lso the extinguisher-.and Miaust. the bloody : then the great Lord Assaosas ushered In with the barbarous music of a Scotch feudal pibroch, dressed in uniform of the Austrian Guards, is on his knees to present the Great Porter with the Order of St. Machiavel, and the picture of Nmsasneu, set in diamonds, after the fashion of slignelite sword•hilts. After this touching ceremony, the august Se cretary Pen., with slashed sleeves and red heels, preceded by two parish clerks, singing " Mother dear Jerusalem," is to pro strate himself before the Great Porter, upon which with universal acclamation, he wiU be crowned with a paper coro net. Next Lord McLean', in a family coat worn by his late father, remarkable for its prodigious pockets—hardly hid by a con venient Scotch cloak, and his neck adorned with a portrait of his dear friend, and honoured patron, his Royal Highness the kg Duke of Oranges, marching with his usual great strides towards the best place, is to be ushered in by a Scotch bag-piper, to the sweet air of— " The Jake's dog o'er my daddy." Next in order, his honor the interesting Lord I.IIIIIHUAST, attired in solemn robes, with a huge pair of mustachios, and an enormous sword by, his side, which once appertained to the great Judge Jefferies—silently preceded by the Ordinary of Newgate, and the Governor of the King's Bench—will present his new work agains t the liberty of the press, bound in calf, and backed in crimson. Then, a detached troop of the new administration in jack boots and spurs, under their various robes of office, will step in, to the march of "the British Grosedier si" the rear will be closed by a band of fantastic dancers, leading in an old white Lioss, surly, but well muzzled, and ridden by two hideous monkies, one dressed in /awn, the other attired with shreds of money bags j the first to be called — perhaps in ridicule of a certain Greek General foolishly devoted to freedom—" crazy church," the second, "old Hunks." This page ant is meant to represent the submission of certain ferodous eae ■ties of the Great Porter—es he is dragged forwards growling at every step, the guests are expected to point at him with derialoa— when—being obliged to dance with a long pole, and show his teeth to the ladies, his keeper will strike up the old elegant air of " Ye croppies of Dublin, " I bid you take care!" Next in procession will be seen that retiring beauty,Mr.Husetelos, with the model of a monumental statue to the honour of the late " Galata Caminito" carried behind him, with its head downwards. The faltering ex-Minister, blushing to the eyes, will advance with a broken irresolute step, and a face like the picture of Gamma be tween Tragedy and Comedy. He will be Addled in by Mr. His aims, to the tune of the " Rate o f Bray." Nest. Lord Geneva :ton will enter with an Ode in praise and glory of the great man set to" Gad save She ruse accompanied by the Royal band. The Duke of Newcants will follow at the bead of hisTaumby, dressed in the venerable mall of an old English Baron, in times anterior to that unfortunate day—Runnemede—while a vassal, marked on the forehead with the Newcastle Arms, and locked up in an iron collar, bearing this motto, " What I lake with my elm," will lustily accompany his Grace, on a crazy buena, to the old Scotch jaeobite air of " Awn !Whigs, Awa." Next, a shoal of Lords and Ladies— noble panders, demireps, and black-legs, redolent of musk, and ful some with adulation, each bearing this devise—" Down with the Constitistion"—will scramble servilely to his feet. Dressed in a berrotool cast-oil' livery of the King's household, the Editor of the " Courier" will do himself the honour of offici ating amongst the lacquies to serve up trifle and capilaire. The Gentlemen of the " Morning Journal" in various odious, but well laced liveries, worn with effrontery and nonchalance, will attend to tambourine the White Lion round the rooms, and join chorus with Newcaa tle, or others, unable with any credit to sing for themselves—the Editor of the' Tames," likeianus with two faces, will stand superciliously at the dour, with one foot in, and one foot out, attired in a fancy motley coloured coat, wit► a thermometer in bis hand, to regulate the temperature of the apart ment, from his Pig-like faculty, of seeing winds from whatever point they blow, and his admirable art of humouring them ; the ventilators will be placed under his direction. The" Morning Pest" will assist Townsend, in helping the guests through the crowd—wln call lacquie. and carriages at their departure. The Sunday bee penal& will be engaged by Sir R. Brants to watch the blackguards and pickpockets—" set a thief to catch a thief." At a certain hour the Great Potter will dismiss his Court, with the "BeguisMarek," when be will retire, at the head of a select party, to the banquet. ring room, amidst transporting cheers, to the march of the Cosigassind Geri"—when what shall follow will be detailed in a future number. The Bavarian Minister, Count MUNSTER, Count MOSTVCEW ITZ, Monsieur ROTH, and Monsieur de NF.UMAN N, were of the dinner party given by the Duke of WELLINGTON on Sunday evening, at his residence in Downing-street. The Mexican Minister Don MANUEL GOROSTIZA, gave a dinner yesterday, at his house in Piccadilly, to Mr. MACLE the Ambassador from the United States, Mr. WASHINGTON Inv , and several eminent lite rary characters. In pursuance of the system of economy enforced by. the Duke of WELLINGTON, the Scottish and Irish Boards of Excise have received circulars from the Lords of the Treasury, announcing that these Boards are to be entirely dispensed with, and directing ac counts to be wound up as soon as possible. The Ex cise and Customs departments in Scotland will then cor respond directly with the Board in London. The mea sure will effect a saving of about 60,0001. a-year. A matrimonial alliance is whispered in the foreign fa shionable circles as likely to take place between a Conti nental Princess of high rank, fashion, beauty, and accom plishments, and a certain Duke of amiable manners and large estates in this country, but who has always been supposed, from family or other circumstances, to be the most unlikely person in the world to load any female to the altar.—Berkshire CAronicle.

Consols, which left off yesterday at 90i, 91 for Aloney, and 91 to i for Account, opened at the same price this morning, and love continued since at 91 for Account alternately, buying and selling, with little or nothing doing. The Foreign Market is also in a state of stagnation. Prices nominal as yet. CITY HALF-PAST ONE. The Funds have continued very steady during the morning. Consols at 91 for the Account, and 901 to 91 for Money, although about 100 thousand Money Stock has been brought to Market which was purchased by the jobbers. The Commissioners gave 91 for Consols. Money is plentiful at 2 per cent. The public would be led to believe, by the Express from Paris this morning, which contains a letter from Malta, that England wishes to rekindle the war in the East. This letter, no doubt, is inserted in the French Papers for some stock jobbing purpose, for all the private accounts from the Continent state that the different Powers in Europe are on the most friendly terms, and determined to prevent any future hostilities in the East. The above is corroborated by the following, received at Toulon, of the arrival of the corvette Diligente, which anchored in the roads of Toulon on the 7th instant, from the Dardanelles, with dispatches to the French Govern ment, stating that peace having been concluded between the Porte and Russians, the French, English, and Rus sian fleets had retired from the .Dardanelles. The Eng lish squadron is gone to Malta, the Russian to Poros, and the French to Navarin ; but a part of the Russian fleet having received some damage, is going to Toulon to repair. The above account of each of the three Allied Powers' squadrons going to different ports must dispel all idea of any differences between them in regard to the peace in the East. Accounts from the Danube state, that in consequence of the exhausted state of Moldavia and Walachia, it is reported that a loan will be required for Moldavia of 800,000 ducats, and Ifor Wallachia a million. The Russian Government offers its guarantee for the pay ment of the above loans in ten years. Houses at Vienna and Buchaest are reported to be in treaty for it. A Lisbon mail has arrived by the Sandwich, sailed on the 18th ult. Letters have been received of the 13th from Oporto, the discount there fell from 31 to 29 No political news. Tilt Kisc.—His MAJESTY continues in the best health and spirits—taking his rides almost daily in the beautiful vicinity of the Royal Lodge, and generally driv ing himself. A series of splendid entertainments will be given at Windsor Castle, during the approaching great festival of Christimas. The Duke of CUMBERLAN D came to town yesterday morning, and in the afternoon returned to Kew. Viscount ALTHORP, M.P. has arrived at his seat, WistowHall, near Selby, from his father's, Earl SPENCER, Althorp House, Northamptonshire. Viscount DowNE has arrived at his seat, Cowick Hall, Yorkshire, from a tour. Lord and Lady MUNCASTER are on a visit at Byrom, near Ferrybridge, the seat of Sir J. RA ms- DEN, Bart. At the village of Thornton, in Dorsetahire, an ancient custom exists among the tenants of lands f de positing be in a hole, in a certain tombstone in the church yard, which prevents the Lord of the Manor from taking tithe of hay during the year. This must be done on St. Thomas's Day, before 12 o'clock, or the privilege is lost. THE TREATY OF ADRIANOPLE. The Turkish treaty concluded, all sinks once more to slumber. — Roused from their disgraceful sleep, the British people were, for an instant, harrowed with consternation at the impending fall of the Ottoman capital—not yet surrendered it is true—but lying at tv conqueror's feet. While our contemporaries were dosing the public with gentl.t opiates, as if by intoxication to render them in sensible or care!ess of danger, we did not fail to ring the alarum— and from the first moment the Russian advanced guard insulted th , • adverse banks of the Pruth, we have never ceased to inch, are the flight of the Russian eagle even to the gates of Constantinorle. e con:thmhat we anticipated its tall—and if its fate has beets pro longed for a whiter, it i 4, nevertheless, morally a conquered spoil— a Nlu-covite city! Who could have foreseen, that the in comparable Sultan, exalted to a hero by our c..ittempora dr% could have subscribed to so disgraceful a treaty, merely for the poor advantage of a bti4 respite—a little breath• ing time. Where was the invincible standard of the Iloly Prophet? Where the devoted band that was to fight in des peration round it ?—the Asiatic reserve ao•I the Albanian levy?— Where, shall we ask more military wri:rrs thin one, the patriot poisulace that were to ris: "cot muse - —tbe indomitable troop.) that were to guard each pass and fastness of the Ilelkan?—where that 4tlntirable Vizier whore defeat at I'ravadi was belied into a victory --whose flight—called a retreat—filled the writers with estary ? —The fate of that battle, and disoiderly dispersion ot turbans, only increased th:• confident mendacity of tho , e, who would saeen Mniisters , and the whole Ve3 . trumped up into a •• ruse de guerre" to allure the invaders to destruction tugitive. were to rally , and the Vizier, bursting lions the Ila•tions of Shumla like the thunders of heaven, was to annihilate the barbarous Cossack for his temerity. Russian triutr ph in Romelia was treated at more visionary than the invasion of the moon—and the imperial victims, if miraculously spared hom the scymitar, were poor wretches, daunted to perish of cold, hunger, and fatigue, in the deserts of Bulgaria.—Our cot respondent, "Miles," familiar with foreign camps, whose atten tion had been long directed to the situation of Turkey and the strength and resources of a Russian army, was slighted, when he argued the fall of the Ottoman—and the emanations of his profes sional knowledge were contemptuously treated by some, as the mere inspiration of books. Politicians really speculative, treated us as chimerical; and now that our prophetic warnings have bleu verified to the letter, our further anticipations are treated with disregard, while these drivellers continue still to deceive their readers and themselves, with dreams tending to cloak the perpetrators of mischief, and lull an abused people till their ruin be complete. These political impostors, with hydra headed falsity, are, as fast as their successive delusions are de tected, fabricating new duperies to hoodwink the multitude— more ignorant than the mass they would inform. More indifferent to our danger, and more truckling to mix-government, they feli citate the country on its escape from disaster in the Levant—con gratulate our commerce on its security from further apprehension— and assure us of Europe's long future tranquillity. Now, in the very face of their idle assertions, we shall once more stand up as prophets, sad examining the motive, actual efficacy, and end of the present Treaty, proceed to divine its resulting events. With a wide desert to traverse—destitute of roads—defiles to thread, and mountains to surmount, cffering insuperable obstacles to the transport of baggage and material, and only opening a difficult passage to a country where resources were likely to be precarious, if not altogether destroyed; while a for midable fortified force in the rear, compelling the necessity of de taching an adequate corps of observation, all combined to impose arbitrarily on the Russian General, the obligation and expediency of alone advancing with an unincumbered supportable force : ap proaching winter, and the necessity of promptly following up vic tory, compelled Dumas to precipitate himself upon the coe val's capital with numbers insufficient to maintain it : while the coming rains and snows in Bulgaria, and the boisterous waters of the petit Bosphorus, in the inclement 'caw+, threw fatal im pediments to immediate necessary reinforcements, as well by the Balkan as by embarkation—the movements of Austria, the proxi mity of our lonian army, and, la►t not least, the measures which the combined Stets of jealous allies might adopt in Audi a position, to hat his isolated army—cut off supplies by the Black Sea, or fatally to promote the danger with which hi. small adventurous corps must have been beset in the midst of a hostile population, doubtless altogether concurred to stimulate a secret wish with Duman to gain time, and to cheat the winter in un molested possession of territories already conquered—the• ob. Jett of his Imperial Master besides, not being the mere flou rish of Military parade in Turkey, or his ambition to be satisfied by profitless military occupation ; but to Annex—colonise— and consolidate. The rapidity of Diebitscb, therefore, hadoutrun the progress of the most formidable and effectual part of this me morable expedition, namely, the commercial, the agricultural, manufacturing—artists and artisans—with their civil and religions. authorities coming up from their ice-prisoned ports, their dwarf wastes, remote and unfrequented cities, in the rear of the 'Jct.. lions army, to people and secure every inch of Romelia's garden land, wrested front its Moslem possessors. A little time, there fore, was more precious than victory—both military and civil numbers hastily collected at Odessa —were, and are yet only waiting the means mid proper period to transport them selves to their new possessions. These were the considerations which prevailed on Deibitsch to relinquish yet awhile the glorious prize still lying at his mercy. The Sultan's entreaties for peace were received with eager satisfaction, and with the tone of well dissembled moderation ; conditions were imposed beyond the power of the fallen Porte ever to fulfil, deprived as it is of its richest resources in Greece, its late possessions north of the Balkan, its magazines and granaries—Trebizonde and Erzeroum—deserted by its tributary Asiatics and Egyptians—nay. betrayed by its own children of Europe. Under favour of this insidious treaty, fatal to the Ottoman, and basing to the rest of Europe, General Deibitsch sits quietly down in winter cantonments, quar tering on the enemy ; and safely waiting the approach of spring and whelming reinforcements, to accuse the Sultan rif breaking impossible conditions; and to take open perma nent posses-ion of thePotte and its dependencies.—Seth is the peace at which we rejoice—such is the lenity fur which we compliment the Czar—such is the pretext of renewed laxity with our debile short-sighted Ministry. We have been pruphecying true so far— and our present predictions we pledge ourselves will be verified by approaching results; the pacification of the East is as the paci fication of Ireland and Portugal—a smothered emlwr about to burst into a flame ! And dearly must we pay for the rash ill-timed experiment of trying a Government unskilled in affairs of state, composed of political apprentices and presumptuous soldiers; who, if you choose to except the narrow matters connected with their trade, have not eyes to see clearly beyond the nose. Precious leaders fur such an Empire—its such emergency—and in the nine teenth century !—How posterity will scuff and curse us !!! • r s s* One of the sons of Sir THOMAS S. M. STANLEY, Bart. is about to be married to Miss MOSTYN, daugh ter to Sir EDWARD MOSTYN, Bart. of Talacre, Flintshire. Both families are Roman Catholics, and of the highest respectability. Sir S. STANLEY, of Hooton Hall, represents the ancient stock of the STANLEYS, from which sprang the STA N LETS, afterwards Earls of Derby and Lords of Man. Lady STANLEY is a daugh ter of Sir C. MAOGERSTONE, Bart. of Cumberland, to whose family Mrs. FITZIIERBERT is closely allied. Sir E. MOSTYN's family is a junior branch from that of Sir Tit om As MOSTYN, of Mostyn Hall—the latter, however, being a Protestant, and well known for his attachment to field sports.—Berkshire Chronicle. DEAF AND DUMB. The state of the deaf and dumb has of late bec o me a subject of more interest than formerly, and his now assumed that degree of importance it is entitled to among the numerous efforts in which science, benevolence, and liberality, are excited to improve the unfortunate portion of the community An opinion had long prevailed that this kind of aB ction was of comparatively rare oc. currence, and it was not until public sympathy was more recently excited by the promulgation of statements showing the large propor tion of persons in the United Kingdom labouring under partial or total deprivation of bearing and speech that the subject has at tached to itself sufficient importance. There are many public in stitutions appointed for their reception and maintenance, but these asylums are insufficient to make the deaf and dumb fit for general intercourse with society. Many of these institutions have also this inconvenience, that no sufferer can be admitted before the age of nine years ; and according to the Report of the London Deaf and Dumb Asylum, it will be seen that in seventeen families, containing 17.0 children, there are no fewer than 78 deaf and dumb. From this fact I am induced to conceive that many of these cases, if early attended to, admit of cute, for Nature we find rarely errs in the perfectionipf her works, and it is only in a few insulated cases that a real structural deficiency occurs ; but the misfortune is, that no attempts are in general made for the relief of the sufferer until the disease is established. By an abstract of a Report made by M. Moon to the Royal Academy of Medicine, at Paris, (on the method adopted by Al. hard, for the cure of the deaf and dumb) it appears that M. hard has presented to the Minister of the Interior, three memoirs—the first relating to the various methods employed up to this time for the cure of congenital deafness, and including those employed by the ate hor himself during the course of a long practice—the second giving an account of experimental treatment adopted in nearly 0.00 cases, with the view of deter. mining the advantages and disadvantages of injections through thy eustachion tube into thy internal ear, a method which a recent report of the Listiiution would seem to recommend to public confidence—the third, in which, after comhatting the above process, M. hard recommends, as exclusively desyreing of confidence, a medico physiological method, calculated, according to his statement to relieve a great many cases of congenital deafness. It is to the last of these alone that the present memoir refers, for, according to 31. hard, deafness is extremely rare—he admits nor more than one-fifth to be so. Every endeavour should be made to relieve any curable defect or obstruction rather than aban. don a case al hopeless ; for, let it be recollected, it is much more satisfactory to restore to society one who accidentally suffers, and to render him useful by the scientific development of his natural powers, than to breed him up in the indirect and exclu.ive forms of an artificial and symbolical education, however necessary and desirable this may be in desperate cases. Notwithstanding the general advancement of medicine and surgery, and the improved methods of cure for various diseases, it is to be regretted that those of the ear are attended with more inconvenience than any other. In considering the chief obstacles that present themselves, it is to he observed, in the first place, that the structure of the ear is ex tremely complicated, the parts that compose it are principally in ternal, and the diseases that assail It chiefly concealed from view— hence in very many cases arise the uncertainty of diagnosis, and the difficulty of adopting a proper course of practice. In the second place is to be noticed the extraordinary prejudice, which, ascribing all congenital deafness to malformation of the organ of heating. sic nounces the disease as incurable, and deprecates all attempts at relief as at once nugatory, and fallacious, or at least painfully uncertain. A third objection, which has been often urged, is the difficulty of applying remedies immediately to the parts affected.— Yet means of relief may be employed without inconvenience, and often with success. Congenital deafness, and that which is ob servable soon after birth, frequently depends upon casual circum stances only. In the ear, as in every other organ of the body, cases of defective formation may present themselves, and in these in stances deafness is incurable. But happily such cases form not the majority of those which usually present themselves to our notice.— The necessity of the treatment I propose in early infancy, before the, disease is permanently confirmed by time and habit, will be more apparent from the fact, that it not unfrequently happens that there are three, four, five, and in some instances seven children in one (amity, suffering from deafness and dumbness.---(Prone Mr. Carlin Essay on the Deaf rind lhanb—Longman and Co.)
