The Princess AUGUSTA took her leave yesterday morning of the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE, with whom her Royal Highness had been staying on a visit at their residence in Bushy Park, and returned to Frogmore Lodge. The Duke and Duchess of CUMBERLAND took an airing yesterday, in an open carriage, to Kew. The Earl of ABERDEEN and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER visited the Duke of WELLINGTON yes terday, at the Treasury. The Prussian Minister, the Spanish Minister, and Count MUSTACEWITZ, had interviews with the Earl of ABERDEEN yesterday, at the Foreign Office. Sir HOWARD DOUGLAS (the Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick) transacted business yesterday at the Foreign Office. One of the Secretaries to the Embassy at Berlin ar rived in town on Sunday night from that capital, with dispatches from Sir ROBERT GORDON, our Ambassador at Constantinople. The Duke of WELLINGTON having resolved to make Walmer Castle an occasional residence, several wealthy individuals have been induced to enter upon a plan for augmenting the quiet village of Walmer, by building a number of houses of the first class, for the convenience of persons of fashion who may be inclined to reside there during the summer season. Mr. FRESIIFIELD, the Bank solicitor, left town on Saturday for Penrhyn, to commence a convass on his own behalf. Mr. NI AX N xxo's defeat is certain, and Mr. BA RCLA Y'S more than probable, in case of a general election. The free burgesses are determined, it appears, to be represented by Tories and Protestants. The Proprietors of the two Winter Theatres have, it seems, agreed to lower the price of admission to the boxes, and to reserve the dress circle for the comfort and convenience of families, who have hitherto complained of the introduction of improper persons into that portion of the Theatre, to which it is intended there shall be a sepa rate entrance. We are confident it would still advance the revenue of the Managers, were the admission to be ss. instead of 6s.—Morning Paper. DRURY LANE. Notwithstanding the present languid and somewhat discouraging state of theatrical affairs, the proprietor of this esta blishment, aided by the zealous personal superintendance of his stage-manager, Mr. Wallack, seems determined to abate no effect to give his friends a most briWant reception at the re-opening of the theatre on the Ist of October next. For this purpose the whole of the audience part of the theatre has been entirely re-painted and re-embellished. The prevailing colour is French white, somewhat warmer in complexion perhaps than heretofore.— The ornaments of the proscenium, ceiling, the fronts of the upper tier of boxes and galleries have been re-gilt and burnished, and new and tasteful designs in scroll-work, richly painted in high relief, are substituted in lieu of the scenes from Shakspeare which ornamented the front of the dress circle. The splendid effect of the interior will be greatly increased by an addition of 20 lights to the central chandelier, for which also a better mode of ventilation has been contrived. The company retains, with one or two excep tions only,all its former favourites,amongst whom we may enumerate Young, Liston, Harley, Jones, W. Farren, Braham, Cooper, Miss Phillips, Scc. to whom have been added, Wallack, young Incledon, Mrs. Glover, &c. Two debutantes of considerable promise will shortly make their appearance, and new pieces of every class In • abundance are already on the stocks. Amongst the foremost of these is a new tragedy by an experienced hand, and a farce, of which Liston will be the hero. The House opens with Hamlet and Taierna tea Oge. Power is not, as has been erroneously stated, engaged at this Theatre. It has been matter of question that a Will by King HENRY VIII. had been in existence—simply because such a document has not been forthcoming at the Tower. Nevertheless we can vouch for the authenticity of the ex traordinary document, part of which appears this day in another section of our Paper, and which we shall give, • piecemeal, when it suits our convenience. Lady H. GORDON left Argyll House yesterday after noon, for the Priory, Stanmore. The 49th Regiment of Foot is vacant by the death of Sir MILES NIGHTINGALE, K.C.B. Baron Bu Low, the Prussian Ambassador, will give a grand entertainment to-morrow at his mansion in Great Cumberland -street, on the occasion of the baptism of an infant son. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of CUMBERLAND will be the Royal sponsors. Moat of his Majesty's Ministers and the Foreign Ambas sadors are expected to be present. PARIS FASHIONS.—Some of our elegant Ladies wear upon an Italian straw hat a plume of peacock feathers, which forms a perfect demi circle above the hat, and falls again to the left down to the brim. Many hats of gros de Naples are worn of a bright green colour, with white embroidery. On the right side of the block is a rosette of six boucles and a single end. This end of the ribind rises over the block, and re-ascends to the left side as far as the border of the brim, where it terminates in a rosette. Sir THOMAS MOSTYN, Bart. from continued ill health, resigns the Oxfordshire country, which he has so long hunted, and disposes of his fine pack of hounds and other appendages, and it is rumoured will be succeeded by Mr. DRAKE. Sir THOMAS'S principal estates lie in North Wales and Cheshire. Surely no good reason can be given why persons living within the two-penny post should pay Id. for their news papers, when persons living at York and greater dis tances pay nothing. CHURCH ESTABLISHMENTS. " The National Church in France, a religious esta blishment for 30,000,000 people, with all the ranks of its hierarchy, Cardinals, Archbishops, Bishops, and their subordinate Clergy, costs the nation less than a million and a half sterling. On this fund depends the existence of nearly 40,000 Cores or Priests, with their ecclesiastical staff of 80 Prelates and other Dignitaries. The salary of a Bishop in France is only abort 15,000 francs (or about 6001.) and that of an Archbishop 25,000 francs, or 1.0001 sterling 3-year. They receive from the local funds of their departments a little more, and in being made Peers of France, or Cardinals of the Holy See, have an advance to support that dignity ; but the whole does not generally amount to more than about 1,5001. or 2,0001. a.year. The revenues of three or four of the Irish Bishoprics would amount to a sum sufficient to support the 80 Prelates of the Catholic establishment of France. The inferior Clergy are paid on a scale by far too small, their incomes on an average not ex ceeding 1,005 francs (or 4014 both front the State and front the de partments." We have copied the preceding statement from an American pa per, but if we recollect rightly, it had its origin in a " Liberal" English journal. The intention of the paragraph is sufficiently oh. vines. It is put forth to prejudice the minds of people against our Church Establishment. We are told that the national Church of France costs the nation less than a million and a half sterling.— Of course, it is meant to be insinuated that this sum is a great deal less than the English Church costs the English nation. But how stands the fact? Why, that the English Church, or the provision for the English Clergy, with the exception of a trilling allowance foe poor Curates, &c. does not cost the nation a single farthing—our clergymen are, for the most part, paid out of the land, a portion of wiikkor rather of the proceeds of which,is set apart for that purpose. —ls there any body so stupid as not to see that, if the tithes were abolished, the people would be obliged to pay as much, if not more than their amount, in additional rent for the land? We never hear any body talking about the sums which the great landed proprie tors cost the nation. We never hear any body complaining, except the Spenceans, of such men as the Duke of Devonshire costing the nation £150,000 annually, the sum paid to his Grace for the rent of his land. Yet the Church revenue is derived from the same source, one-tenth of the produce of the land being kid as much the property of the Clergy, or lay impropriator, as the remaining nine tenths are the property of the landlord. It is a great ini.take to suppose that a nation gains anything by making the Church a sti pendiary of the State. Abolish tithes in England, and what will be the consequence? The landlords will demand an additional rent, and the people will have to pay the Paracins out of their own pockets. This project of the " Liberals" against the Church, like most of their other projects, would eventually operate to the injury of the people.—Morning Serval,. THE ARMY. A detachment belonging to the 17th Regiment of Foot arrived in town yesterday morning from Coventry, on route to Chatham. A detachment belonging to the 824.1 Regiment of Infantry arrived in town yesterday morning front Coventry. on route to Sheet nes,. - _ LIATIMICK, Simi.. ito. An ample and complete report of the proceeding+ of the Court Mania on Lieut.-Col. Bayly, late of the 98th Itef,iment, i. given in the Limerick Omni !e, received this day. It concludes Ow:— When the Adjutant-General concluded his address, the Court was cleared, but the President and Members remained in close de liberation from ten o'clock in the morning until brit-past three in the evening, when the Court broke up. Of course their decision won't be accurately known until after being transmitted to the Horse Guards, though some vague rumours on the subject may be afloat. At all events a careful perusal of the entire case may lead a sensible reader to a shrewd guess at the expected result. AU the Field Officers composing this Court Martial, left Lime rick yesterday, to occupy their several commands. The Adjutant-General, Colonel Gardiner, left town on Thurs day, for Dublin, but General Dalbiac and the other members of the Court Martial did not separate before a late hour in the dry, having been closetted for sonic hours before arriving at a decis on the case of Lieutenant-Colonel Bayly.

THE 31 us r co. It is with infinite satisfaction we perceive the great Morning Newspaper at last advocating the necessity of reforming the !leen tiousneu of our Theatres, so long become the public rendezvous and parade of all that is meretricious and depraved in vice—to the disgrace of our police; and our degradation as a moral and literary people. While it is in contemplation to sweep from our streets the tur bulent hordes of infamous prostitutes that infest them. let autho rky do more—drive from the House of Genius, the favourite haunt of the intellectual, that source of cheerful recreation to the fatigued mind, the temple of Shakspeare and the Muses, the brutal and impure rabble who have become, through the guilty encouragement of Managers, the almost exclusive frequenters of Its walls. Let us compel the Proprietors of our Theatres, who have so lung conspired against the public manners, to shut up the horrid Musicos, in order that our wives and daughters may awe revisit the Theatre of our national drama :—in no other country is such congregated infamy tolerated : the loungers of the Palais Royal would shriek in disgust from the picture of an English Play-house lobby,—that assembly-place of tawdry wanton ness and drunken uproar. The existence of these marts of vice is exposing our national character to the reprobation and contempt of every foreigner visiting this capital. Managers have replied. when we have pressed this measure, personally, that they had no authority to interfere, and that the exclu.ion of dissolute females from their lobbies would ruin the finance of their Theatres : to which we now repeat, that we have as much right to see public decency maintained in the sa loons, lobbies, staircase., boxes, and pit of a place, as in the streets that surround it, where it is imposed on watchmen and street-keepers to disperse the improper and disorderly when othering together. In the II open to the public, men are 'oiled to preserve decorum. No gentleman is there per mitted to make up to females ;—the " femme perdue" may visit them, but while she remains there she must conduct herself with the strictest propriety, as the smallest misbehaviour would, that instant, subject her to the humiliation of being turned out.- -Why could we nut also station proper guardians in the various passages of the theatre to preserve decorum? and what necessity have we for a harem attached to every London play-house? As to the loss of guilty gain, which the exclusion of halt-naked prostitutes encouraged to decoy the debauched world, entails upon the finance of Messrs. Pi ice, Keinble,Ellistota, and others,—wh at is that to us ? and why should they be ye:mitts:a more thsn ethers to keep dis orderly houses? Reduce the price of admission, introduce decent order with the audience ;—and the respectable public of this great Capital will once more flock to the theatre. PHILOSOPHY. 0 ! Mistress mine, of the auburn locks, And thoughtful eye ; Tell me what you ate thiaking of So patiently. Sitting here with your shoulders bare, And youi elbows out ; Negligent maiden, tell me true, What do you dream about ? What book have you been pondering on— An old or a youthful saga? The lore of a past antiquity, Or the lore of a present age? Plato or Locke? my pretty dear; Zeno or Browne ? That in such a sober reverie, You lay it down. 0! quit your books, my beautiful maid ; 0! quit your books, I pray; Far really you've work enough to do In mending your robe to-day.

CON Ft' lANS. A ( ;email book itiv aiipeareol, la titled" Allgemeine Kirschetizeitung," dividing th • population of the earth according to different religions. The initaboants ot the globe are presented in two grand divisions called Monotheists, worshippers of one (ion, and Polytheists, worshippers ot many gods, or idolaturs. Among the Monteheists are insetted Con fuel ins, five mi lions. Now, in the first place, there is a difficulty in caking the Confucians Monotheists; and, in the Hest place. it they be Monotheists, why confine them to the number 01 five millions? For. generally speaking, all the people ot China, neatly tw hundred millions, profess to be Coniutians. But rigid Como clans can scarcely be called Theists at all; because they worship not a person, but the frame of nature, the visible heavens, the earth they tread on, stars and constellations, the spit its of hills and rivets, &c. Tbat this is the fact is indisputable. Now, how can this he called Theism? and still less can it be called Motiotheisni. 1k sides, the Confucians ot China, learned and unlearned, all join in the worship of deified men and women—such is their gild of war Ewan-too-me ; and the goddess Kwan•yin, &c. It is, there fore, a melancholy fact that, instead of five millions of Confucians being numbered with the Monotheists, the whole population of China, with very few exceptions, are Polytheistic idolators. A late Newhaven Paper says :—" We understand that Mr. Parkins, formerly Sheriff ot London, who passed through this place last week, has ordered a beautiful monument to be erected to the memory of the regicides, Gaffe, Whalley, and Dix well, who lie buried is the old burial yard, and whine graves are now marked by small rude stones of common trap. life monu. mot is to be erected at the rear of the Centre Church. and will bear,we know not, what radical inscription."—On the above par.- graph the New York Daily Advertiser makes the following remarks . We are not disposed to discourage Mr. Perkins in this display of his feelings in favour of the regicides: but we very much doubt the accuracy of the remark that Guile and Whalley lie buried in Newhaven. 'first one, at least, of them does not, there is very satisfactory evidence, Those men were concealed many years in the house of the Rev. Mr. Russell, at Hadley. in the State of Massachusetts ; and it was sup posed they died there. it is not many years since that house was taken down, and in removing the materials of which the chimney was made, outside the wall, the remains ot a human skeleton were found. They were unquestionably the bones of one of the IteA eides. We have never seen any proof that either of them was buried at Newhaven." Mr. Laing, the Magistrate of Hatton-garden Office, was violently assaulted on Saturday night, whilst proceeding from the Office to his own residence.

Here the mendicant re iterated his demands, and would nut allow the Magistrate to pro ceed. At length the fellow struck Mr. Laing, who returned the blow by levelling the offender to the ground with his umbrella. Some of the spectators, who imply saw a part of the affair, raised a report that the Magistrate had wantonly struck the man down. A mob soon assembled round the spot, who evinced the most exasperated feeling towards the Magistrate; o much se, that he Was obliged to retreat into the shop of Mr. Dickson, the tea dealer. in the above street, with the loss of his hat and umbrella, and his dress much damaged. The number of persons collected at this time aniounted to upwards of 300, who continued to surround the shop, and the Magistrate was obliged to effect his escape at the back of the premises.

Wisii Lit V I J.L F..—The remains of this singular man and celebrated printer, alter an exhumation of seven years, have beets buried once more at Cradley Chapel, near Birmingham, the property of the Ilaskerville property.

Richardson, Curate of St. John, Wapping. was interrupted three or four tinks by an odd kind of shout from a person in the body of the Church. An ex traorditiary looking sailor was observed before the service to stroll into the Church, and take his seat m a pew next the Churchwarden's. Ile continued quiet until the commencement nE the sermon, when he suddenly raised himself bolt stpri;ht and ex claimed, in a voice loud enough to be heard upon the royal yards, " Pulpit ahoy ! give us a good one for the love of COSIST !'"Phis interruption, although it disconcered the congregation not a little, passed unnoticed, until in a few minutes atter the sailor bellowed " Parson, ahoy ! hurrah ! you're a good one." This was too much; the younger portion of the congregation audibly tittered, and the sailor laughed outright, while the venerable and more grave pact of the auditory looked aghast at the sad profana tion of the intruder. The beadles, Judd and Wood. approached him just as he exclaimed " hurrah ! success to the saint+ and the Bible !" when Judd beckoned him out, with a hint that a glass of grog was in readiness; this was done to prevent any disturbance by a scuffle in the church.

It jeers English politicians for calling, on their knees, as much for mercy on the equilibrium of Europe, as the Turk+ dot tut a suspension oil hostili ties to these same Russians on whom they previously invoked fa mine and the plague. Was it for this that the Duke was called to the helm, and that he pacified Ireland by Catholic Ematicipatitil ? The 'nulls may ask the Sultan what be did with the Standard of the Prophet ; but Englishmen may bring the Duke or Wellittron to as severe an account respecting what he has done with the Stan dard of Old England.
