But that public tranquillity has been, in consequence, disturbed in the circle of the Rhine, as the number of the Cowstitutioaxel received to day states, is an absolute fiction ; and, if we give the assurance that the areatest tranquillity prevails, as it has hitherto done in Rhenish Bava ria, that no garrison has been any where reinforced or removed to another place, we do this solely that the public in other countries may not be left for a moment In doubt respecting an entire falsehood. What the people of Germany, and among them the inhabitants of Rhenish Bays- Tie. ardently wish is, the preservation of peace and legal order. Those must be either fools or knaves who seek to propagate fears of disturbances among us. CAI LENT E, Sept. I.—Yesterday and the day before the troops of the Bth Corps assembled near Coblents were reviewed. To.day they were to be exercised in evolution and manteuvres on a great scale, with a sham tight, and to be in the field this morning at six o'clock. At one this morning an express brought the news of the disturbances at Aix-la- Chapelle. This express came from Cologne, to which application had been made from Aix.la-Chapelle (which is wholly destitute of troops) for a detachment to be sent as soon as possible. It was added, that the Concordia steam.boat was to be despatched at nine in the evening to Coblents, and would arrive here this morning (the Ist), to he at the disposal of the General in command. In comm. quence of this news, orders were immediately given for the 28th Regiment of Infantry of the Line, and the 9th Regiment of Bolan*, to spas the Eifel at 2 o'clock this morning, and march direct to Aix-la- Chapelle. A regiment of dragooons set out at the same time for Co.. logne. The Concordia arrived at 9 o'clock, and set out again at 11 for Cologne with a regiment of infantry ; when the cabins were filled, the remainnder of the regiment embarked in three large boats. The camp, however, is not broken up ; all the Landwehr regiments are still there ; the Landwehr cavalry is in the villages near the camp. The reviews will be continued, according to the first arrangement, to the 11th Sept. Prince William, his Majesty's son, will be here on the bib, 6th, and 7th. FCANIFORT, SEPT. 2.—The accounts from Aix-la.Chapelle, of the 31st of August, announce that order and tranquillity were perfectly restored. The citizens, eager to meet the wishes of the Government, had armed themselves and patrolled the city. The leader of the rioters, who had converted a red shawl belonging to Madame Cockerill into a ban ner, which he carried about in a carriage of Mr. Cocicerill'a, had been killed by a musket.shot by one of the citizens. This vigorous measure put a stop to the riots, the original cause of which was an altercation be. tween a manufacturer and his workmen concerning their wages. At Cologne, the citizens had armed themselves at the request, and under the direction, of the Governor of the place, and patrolled the streets in the night of the Slat of August. VIENNA, Aug. 28.—A commercial: crisis• has commenced on our Exchange, which has been: produced by scarcity of money and want of confidence in the stability of the funds, and has been further increased by the notice published to-day of the resolution of the directors of the Savings-bank to put into circulation the 1,800 Bank Shares deposited in that institution. Bank Shares fell to-day from 1,260 to 1,221 34. VIENNA, Aug. 30.—Metalliques, 4b; 4 .per Cents. 88 ; Bank Shares, 1,60 70." SPIRIT OP THE JOURNALS. Cnaoxict.s.—ln most countries Lord is like Sir in this country, which signifies Lord, and is applied universally. The objection to my Lord in this country is, that it is distinctive and offensive, from the cumbrous and ostentatious manner in which it is applied. The indivi dual who is addressed as "sty Lord," feels himself as much elevated by the distinction us native of New Zealand by the tattoo, or some of the other savages of the South Seas by the privilege of wearing bones through their noses. Dame is the same originally as Madam, but a poor woman in the country does not conceive herself honoured by the title. England is the country of distinctions ; we wish we could say that England gains in happiness by them. So far from it, it is impossible, go where you will, not to see that the artificial distinctions of society in this, country are a source of much heart-burning and uneasiness. People will not not enjoy the happiness within their reach, because others may be happy in the same manner. When an Englishman of rank leaves his own country he is at first miserable, because he perceives nowhere else that servility to which he was accustomed at home. What is called coiling a man is known only in this country. In France no man ever conceives that he ought to have one manner of addressing one man and another manner in addressing another : the conseq ue n ce of which is, that there is none of that constraint and resetvcwhich distinguish ourselves. The extent to which these foolish distinctions are constantly present to all Englishmen, may be seen in the pages of those writers whose more espe cial business it is to observe our social peculiarities. Thus, for instance, we find Mr. Galt, in his Life of Lord Byron, dwelling on the imprudence of Mr. Leigh Hunt forgetting that a person in his rank ought always to have been on his guard in his intimacy with a Lord. A foreigner could not understand the following passage " Mr. Hunt, at no period of their acquaintance, appears to have been sufficiently sensible that a man of positive rank has it always in his power, without giving anythin g lik e such a degree of offence as may be resealed otherwise than by estrange. ment, to inflict mortification ; and in consequence presumed too much to an equality with his Lordship—at least this is the impression his conduct made upon me, from the familiarity of his dedicatory epistle prefixed to Rimini, to their riding out at Pisa together, dressed dike: We had blue frock coats, white waistcoats and trousers, and velvet caps, s la Ra phael, and cut a gallant figure.' Ido notdiscover on the part of Lord Byron that his Lordship ever forgot his rank ; nor was he a personage likely to do so; in saying, therefore, that Mr. Hunt presumed upon his condescension, I judge entirely upon his own statement of facts. lam not undertaking a defence of his Lordship for the manner in which he acted towards Mr. Hunt, because it appears to me to have been, in many respects, mean ; but I do t hink there was an original error, a misconception of himself, on the part of Mr. Hunt, that drew down upon him a degree of humiliation that he might, by more sell-respect, have avoided." When we heap Lord Byron discussing the qualities of aristocratic breed, and gravely quoting in terms of admiration Ali Pacha's distinctive mark of short ears, we are almost inclined to think that his ears were longer than they ought to have been. But the accumulation of property in consequence of the customs of the country, and the abuses of the Representation, enable the evil to be perpetuated. However, we cannot enter further into the übject at present. COSBET T . ll RZOISTEL—Tbere Is no doubt that the revolt in Bel. glum was hastened by the revolution in France:. but, it is clear that the causes of it existed before the revolution in France was so much as thought of, for we know that public writers were banished from Belgium • before the month ofJuly, and we know they were banished for making known the grievances of the people- In all Pees where revolutions are made by the people, the chief cause ever has bean THE TAX s.When the government leaves the people to enjoy the fruit of their industry, they seldom revolt t as,'amongst individuals, ninety-nine quarrels out array hundred are about property of some eon or other; so it is between go vernments. and people. Men never revolt, if they have the full enjoy ment of the fruits of their labour, skill, and care and whenever we see restraints put on the press, we may be sure that the government knows that the people have eons, for oceriplaird ; hawses it Inuit know that no writer, hOirkTel able, can persuade a man that be is badly off, when he is well off ; n o wr i ter can persuade a man that he is hungry and naked, *hen that man's belly is full, and his body well clad. But of what do the Belgians complain ? They complain of the heavy tares they have le pay. They complain of other things also, but this is the 100 T of the whole, just as it is in England, and just as it has been in every country where revolutions have sprung from the people, which our revolution of 1688 did not, that being a revolution made by the evirtoeravg, and foe their benefit. The Americans were not, In 177‘, loaded with taxes, but they saw that they should be. The taxes were enacted by the taxing Parliament, and the Americans resisted, ratbyr than pay them. Their declaration of independence contains twelve distinct charges against the King of England ; but the coos of all vu, that be was about to load them with taxes. The French am bition of 178 D had the same cause. And have the taxes had nothing to do with this revolution In France ? The taxes in France were ikawry heavy, though li g h t compare d with what we have to hear; they were heavy; and accordingly we find that the new I ~.~.w~e "King, in his very first ordinanc..s, promises a mitigation of the taus. Just the same ix it in Belgium. The people there demand a repeal of taxes. But what Is the cause of the taxes ? In France the debt is great ; and how did it come ? It was contracted, principally, to pay the Allies for forciny the Bourbons bock on France; to pay the ancient noblesse for coming back ; to pay, in fact, for treasons coonsittled against the people of France ' • and this debt was ex pected to bind the monied people to t h e Bourbons so firmly as to enable the Government to set all discontents at defiance for the future. In Belgium the debt, which is very great in proportion to the resources of the country, was a present made to the poor Bel. gians, along with their new King ! They bad no debt before; when under the French they had no debt : but their former so vereign, the Emperor of Germany, having contracted a debt with the Jews, the new Kinf was to have Belgium upon condition of slaking the Belgians pay the interest of this debt ! And thus these fortunate people got a ligitionate sovereign and a national debt at one and the same time, both a present front the generous allied sovereigns ! The people of Belgium complain of many things, and I dare say, very usd ; but the SOOT is the taxes, which are perfectly enormous. ell, now, Mon. Prince de Waterloo, what redress are they to have? It is said that the Belgian King will take ooncessio IW. What conces sions ? Will he take qf the taus II That is what the people want ; and if he do that, how is he to pay the interest of the debt 1 They do not ask him to cease to pay the interest of the debt ; they only est him to cease to take from than the means of paying iti Voila tout I That's all : and that is not much ! So that, one of two things must happen to his Belgic Majesty : he must refuse to make concessions, or must have a national bankruptcy; and in either of which cases, I would not give muck for his Majesty's crown. What, however, is the interesting point here ? It is this (and I beseech the French to look well to it), that a national debt cannot long exist, to any considerable amount, in any country where the people choose those who make the laws. 1 be seech the excellent man who is now the chief magistrate in France, and 1 beseech the French legislators, to consider seriously that propo sition, and to be prepared for the consequences which will naturally result from the experimental establishment of its truth. A people who have no voice in the making of the laws ;will submit for ages to pay the interest of a national debt : they will submit to it, as they do to every other oppression, until they can get rid of it by force: but if they have a voice in the making of the laws, they will not long submit to it. In the meanwhile, let us see wise. ther the principles which I have here maintained, wilt not be acted upon in Prance; and this is a great matter for us, in this country, to consider. To the objections against national debts generally, there is this peculiar to that of !crane; namely—that no one can possibly pretend that it was contracted for the bendfit of the people of Franca. The comparatively small part that existed before the restoration of the Bourbons, was contracted without any assent on the part of the people, and for purposes hostile to them. All that has been contracted since, has, in Jact, been forced upon France, either by foreign bayonets actually at the breasts of the people; or by foreign bayonets, held in readiness to be sent against them. And, as to the uses, to which the main part of the borrowed money has been applied, they have all been uses, so fir from being beneficial to Francs, that they have been so many modes of shaping indignities and punishments in. flicted upon her. This being clearly understood by the French people ; and they do understand it clearly ; this peculiarly provoking circum stance being added to the weight of the odiousness and crying injustice of calling upon the children for payment of the debts of tine fathers, who is to believe, that that people, undisciplined to grinding taxation ; full of just notions of political right; knowing their own strength, and having so recently tried it with success; a people, in short, dis tinctlyclaiming the sovereignty as inherent in themselves; who is to believe that such a people, being the makers, in fact, of the laws, will long continue to make laws to compel them selves and their chil dren to pay about 11,000,0001. or 275,000,000 francs a year, in order, first, to fulfil the wishes of the Allied Powers, who forced back the Bourbons upon them, took away their frontier towns, imposed a tribute upon them, and sacked their museums ; and, nest, to make themselves unable to go to war even for self defence I Who is to believe this of such • people so situated ? I remember well, that, in 1815, our press teemed with exhortations to the Bourbons to make a considerable national debt as the means of emir ing to themselves the support of the rich people, and also as the means of securing the peace of Europe ; that is, the despotism of Europe.— And, certainly, this was the way to go to work ; but this work could succeed only so long as the people were not fairly and fatly repre sented. France has not yet arrived at this identified state ; but, in time, she would arrive at it ; and, in the meanwhile, she must, if she adhere to this benumbing curse, remain inactive at the best. It is this debt and all its deadening ligatures, that now withhold her from that RHINE which is her natural boundary, whence the people are stretching their arms to her for help and protection, and to aid whom, and again to plant her standard on its banks, she is called by the voice of honour, of humanity, and of just resentment combined. This 1 know well, that, before long, she will listen to the former ; that, in spite of debt and paper.money, to the RHINE she nal go; and, In my next letter, I will endeavour to show, that to the RHINE she ought to go, not only for her own honour, but for the good of all Europe, England not excepted. THE PRESENT RESIDENCE OF CHARLES, EX-KING OF FRANCE. We are old enough to remeintr - 7-r,..r7nrcu modally, the removal of the Bourbon family from their retreat at IlartwelL All the great and glo rious doings at Bakhampstead on that occasion, are as fresh in our re collection as the incidents of yesterday r how. with about four score and ten companions, we were then let loose from schooldom, to congea -1 tulate the exiled King on his restoration. In the sunshine of our enjoy ment we thought it a mere holiday treat ; the better and holier influence was to teach us to respect misfortune, and encourage those kindly feel ings which spring from the " sweet uses of adversity." The asylum of fallen royalty has some attraction, however lowly the " divinity" which " doth hedge a king," may be rated. Lullworth Castle itself is, moreover, a place of note, and is what topographers cell " a noble pile." It occupies an eminence in the south-east corner °ran extensive park, and commands a fine view of the sea from an opening between the hills, as well as extensive inland prospects. The coast, too, is of great natural beauty ; for every tourist must remember the Cove, or beautiful basin of Lullworth, and the arched rock in its vicinity. The present Castle of Lullworth is not of any great antiquity ; but is supposed to he on or near the site of a castle mentioned as far back as the year 11411. The materials for o..ilding it were brought principally from the ruins of Bindon Abbey, not very distant. The foundation was ' laid in the year 1688; and the structure, except its internal decorations, finished in 1609: the latter were not completed till after the year 1641, when the ancestor of the present owner, James Weld, Esq. purchased the estate.° Perhaps we cannot do better than quote the general de. saiption of the Castle from Hutchins's History of Dorset; t Lullworth Castle is an exact cube of eighty feet, with a round tower at each corner, thirty feet in diameter, and rising sixteen feet above the walls, which, as well as the towers, are embattled. The walls are six feet thick ; the offices are underground, arched with stone. The house l has three stories, hut the towers four : in each front are three rows of four windows; in the towers are four rows, of three each, exclusive of the offices. The hall and titning.rooni are large ; and the rooms are in general eighteen feet high. In the apartments are some family pot. traits, executed by the celebrated Sir Peter Lely. The principal front is on the east, and faced with Chilmark stone; before it was a large court, now laid into a lawn, leading to the landing-place, which is guarded by a balustrade of stone (which, in the htte Edward Weld's time, only extended along the east front), called the Cloisters, because paved with the stones from the cloisters of Bindon Abbey. Over the doors are statues of two ancient Romans, in their gowns. On each aide! of the door, which is supported by four pillars of the lonic order, is a large niche, and over them two shields, on which are the arms of Weld properly blazoned. In the niches ate the statues of Music and Painting." In the year 1789, during the residence of George 111. and Queen Charlotte at Weymouth, Mr. Weld was honoured with several royal visits, the particulars of which are perpetuated in two inscriptions over the entrance to the castle. The manor of East leHaworth, in which this edifice stands, came into the possession of the Welds, with the castle, in 1641. They are one of the first Roman Catholic families in Ragland; and the present repre- sentative has recently been raised to the rank of Catalina About the commencement of the present century, they erected an elegant little chapel, at a ahert distance from the castle, for the convenience f the family and dependants. Its interior, from the following desaiption,: must resemble a museum of curiosities t— " This structure is of a circular t'onu, increased by four sections of a , circle, so as to form a cross, and finished with a dome a nd l antern . I t ' contains a well-toned organ, a copy of Raphael's Transfiguration, and two other scriptural pieces, lately brought from Italy. The altar-piere is decorated with very costly ornaments, disposed with much taste and ef fect; it is chiefly compared of the richest and most curious marbles. The front and outside panels of the two supporters of the altaz.table are of beautiful oriental rose alabaster, having mouldings of giallo de Sienna within the former are two angels of bronze, in postures of adoration ; between them is a vase, composed of one pie ce of ambeacoloured trans parent alabaster • the platform on which the latter is pl a c e d , i s of pot . phyry, with a base of brilliant breseia etwallisa : the back part and two sides of the space wherein the vase and angels stand, are of a wade onfigus, so variegated as to throw a kind of splendour about I I the urn ; tire:pima; of the altaketeps are of *mesa di esterside, set in lidalle alike) ; the small step that projects immediately on the altar-table, is of choice peeorella Wawa alabaster; the door of the tabausele, and its frame, are composed of lapis lostili amegya, verde di Corsica, biome • were testae), verde d'iffitte. a nd other choke stones. The pe destal of the aucifix is composed of plaints di emerald, and verde wake ; the entire sides of the cross are incrusted with lapis lanai ; the Saviour is carved in ivory, and the Magdalen is of gilt broom.

As he sits on his steed, la lady, habited in curled hair, with a fillet, a veil thrown back, and a wimple, her surcoat charged with his alms, lifts up to him, with her 1 right hank a close pointed helmet ; and in her left hand she holds a pennon of his arms round the point of a spear. Behind her is another lady, in the same dress, bolding in her right hand a pendant shield ofl his arms, which are likewise on her sureoat ; and on her left arm is banging, as it may be presumed, the embroidered collar, an usual prize' or favour given by some lady to her favourite knight, as a charge to him to meditate some feat of chivalry, which collar was generally fast ened above the knee, by some of the lady's female attendants The la dies' dresses are alike, the hair combed hack on the head, and curled at the ears; a fillet of gold beads encircles the head; a red band edges the veil, as a stiff kind if ornament does the ears. Their boddice, ar der dress is red, with the sureost of their arms over it." The Welds have not, we believe, for some time pest, resided at the Castle, which till lately, was tenanted by Mr. now Sir Relit. Peel, Bart. This circumstance gave rise to the erroneous notion that the ex-King of France was provided with the asylum of Lullworth by our present admi nistration. The ex-Ring's temporary abode here is more directly ex plained by the local advantages of the Castle, and the devotion of its sympathizing proprietor. Neither is this a solitary instance of Mr. Weld's philanthropy, since he long accommodated some emigrant monks of the order of La Trappe, in the vicinity of the site of Bindon Abbey— also his property. This order, founded on the discipline of the Oster. clans, had its origin in France. Perhaps Dorset is one of the most interesting counties of England. Its antiquarian treasures are unnumbered. Poole was a place of consequencel several centuries ago ; and Wareham, though a grass-grown street, has still three churches r both these places are parliamentary boroughs.— Purbeck has long been famed for its atone quarries ; and the Isle of Portland has contributed many embellished piles to our metro polis : witness Whitehall and St. Paul's Cathedral. Abbotsbut has dwindled to a fishing town, and its magnificent a bb e y is almost lost. Lyme Regis was a hold in the civil wars of Charles I. and here the ill-starred s TZe of Monmouth landed, in 1685. Dorchester, the county town, is of great antiquity; and Whit borne contains in its Saxon and Gothic church, the tombs of Ethelred, brother to the Great Alfred, and of the parents of the mother of Henry VII. Shaftesbury had once a Benedictine nunnery, and the richest and most splendid in the kingdom ; and Sherborne was a bishop's see in the timeof the Saxon King Ins : part of its castle was built by Sir Walter Raleigh. Milton Abbey (by name,) and Wolveton, the seat of the Trenchards, in the time of Henry VII. ; the Saxon castle of Coefe, and remains of a Roman amphitheatre, barrow, camp, &c . likewise attest what we have said to stimulate the reader's curiosity. We remember passing a day pleasantly enough in tracing one of the last-mentioned relics of olden time, midway between Blandford and Dor chester, which the people to this day call Castle Rings. Our stay would not allow us much research ; but we finished our excursion by starting from Milborne, on foot, across the fine expanse of Dorset, the bold ridges of part of Hampshire. and thus to Southampton, where the arti ficial luxury of a stage-coach put an end to ail our enjoyment of romantic nature.—Jlirver. MR. OIVEN'S LETTER, No. 111. TO THE GOVERNMENT AND PEOPLE OF FRANCE. In my last letter I promised " to explain the csuse of the perpetual poverty of the people under the existing arrangements of society, and to develope the means by which the cause may be for ever removed." The cause of poverty over the civilized world is the mis-direction Of labour-saving, uneonsuming machinery. Under the existing arrangements of society, all the wealth of the industrious classes of society proceeds directly from their labour, manual or mental The erroneous customs of the world have made the manual and men. tal faculties of man, an article of commerce, and subject to the same fluctuations in its monied value as cattle and sheep, and every other article of commerce has been made under the present irrational state of society. Its value then depends upon the demand for it in the market of labour, and upon the amount of supply to meet that demand. Previous to the introduction of labour-saving machines, labour was always of much comparative value, because every pair of hands which came Into the market brought with them a demand for food, clothes, houses, furniture, tike. Ike. amounting nearly to what their labour could produce. The demand far and supply of labour, were therefore comma. orate with each other, or nearly so, under every increase of the popula tion. And the industrious classes who were not slaves, were generally well supplied with the necessaries, and many of them with the comforts of life. But as mankind advanced in a knowledge of the arts and sciences, a new species of power for producing wealth with less manual labour, was discovered and introduced. This new power of production, without consuming in the same pro portion as human beings consume, has advanced of late years at a con. tinually increasing ratio. It has been already so multiplied, that labour of all kinds is in great excess in the market over the demand for it, and the labour of the moat industrious is not worth, in the market of labour, as much as will sup ply a family of average numbers with the necessaries of life. But the increase of the new scientific power of production—or, as some call it, labour-saving machinery—is daily advancing, and to ha progress there is no assignable limit. Nor ought there to be any; for whenever its real use shall be understood, and it shall be properly ap plied, it will become a godlike power to relieve man from all unpleasant toil, and want, and misery t and it will be the great instrument by which contest for wealth will be superseded, by kind and happy feelings between individuals and nations. At present, however, it is from ignorance allowed to proceed In direct competition with manual labour; and experience proves that human beings have not the power, by nature, to contend successfully against this overwhelming competitor. It is therefore obvlons, to all who dispassionately consider the present state of society in Great Britain and Ireland, France, and Belgium, and other parts of the world, that It is the increase of laboursaving, uncon. suming machinery, in competition with manual labour, that now, amidst a superfluity of all things, afflicts the industrious classes with poverty. Having thus explained the mule of the existing distress among the I industrious classes, while plenty exists around them in tantalising pro fusion, we proceed to the remedy : It is to find employment, as Napoleon did, for every Frenchman willing to work, at the rate of 2s. per day. He, however, found employment for most of them in destroying the wealth of others, and consuming the production of others, without creat ing any return. It is necessary that regular and full employment be found for all the industrious elapses, in such a manna that they shall annually produce more wealth than they consume while producing it, and the same news sitwill soon arrive also in Americ a . There is now no alternative left for Europe, but to provide full and beneficial employment for all the working classes, aided by machinery, or for the Government to order the plough and the press to be every where destroyed. The people have now a right to ask that the one or the other of these alternatives shall be immediately carried into execution, to pre. vent the work people in ;Leh England, and in beautiful France and Bel. glum, starving for the want of the necessaries of life, amidst the greatest profusion of wealth of their own creations, and the means to increase it, if requisite, ten.foid. Let the operation of the plough and the press be suspended for three years, and then it would be discovered whether machinery, as now di. rated, is beneficial or injurious to the working classes and to the educated pan of society who have to maintain themselves and their families by their mental exertions. Tile time is come when machinery must be destroyed--or a right di. xenon given to it, or it will destroy all the Aristocracies. in Europe— and throw every government into confusion.

WINDSOR, SEPT. 10.—His Majesty having been gra ciously pleased to throw open to the public the delightful walks of the new Terrace on Saturdays and Sundays, the inhabitants, to enliven the scene, applied to Col. Wallace, of the sth Dragoons, tow stationed at Windsor, to allow the band of that fine Regiment to play there. This Gentleman very readily acquiesced in their wishes', and communicated with Genaal Sir H. Taylor, in order to obtain his Majesty's permis sion, who was graciously pleased to allow the same. The band, there. fore, in future, will play Go those days from three till seven ; and should the weather prove favourable, this already highly attractive promenade will be crowded with the fashionables of the surrounding country. The Gothic projection upon the west end of the roof of Westminster Hall having been found in a dangerous state of decay, the whole is to come down. The dilapidated part has undergone no repair since the tire of London, 1666. An obstruction which has long re mained in the Hall—namely, the building forming a depot for the Re. cords of the King's Basch and Exchequer, will won be removed, as the Records are to be conveyed to the Mews, Charing-cow. Workmen have been some time employed putting both Houses of Parliament in the best state, prior to the meeting of Parlia ment. The Throne, iu the House of eda, has been prepared to receive his Majesty. It seems the present Throne is to stand during tbe ensuing short meeting of Parliament. The drapery and hangings, including the ornaments, are to be taken down, and put in the best condition. At present the Throne is covered up, to prevent it from the whitewash ap. plied to the ceiling. A new Throne will be erected, it is said, next year. VAUXHALL GARDENS.—The close of this favourite re sort for summer amusement took place last night, when the Gardena were thronged to a greater extent than on any other night of the 'casco. The performances and illuminations were of course made as effective and brilliant as possible, and the spirit with which they were received proved the unbounded satisfaction of the spectators. If the reason has not been so favourable in point of attendance as some of its predecessor, it is due to the managers to say that their arrangements have maintained order in a mere than ordinary degree. Mr. Williams delivered a tare.. well Address, expressing, with some happy points of humour, the thanks of the proprietors and the performers tor the pa:ronage and sup port they had received at the hands of the public. Many ask " how happened it that Von Maanen, the Dutch Minister, who was so unceremoniously treated at Brussels, came to be an object of such marked hostility ?" and the perplexity is not di. minished by the statements of the Dutch papers that, after having served his country faithfully for 35 rears, he had '• solicited his discharge ;" which solicitation was complied with, "his Majesty expressing his gra. diode for his long and faithful services." The secret is, that Von Mao. nen had contrived to keep in office, whoever might be on the Throne, whether it was the House of Orange— Napoleon—then Louis Bonaparte —then Napoleoo again—and then " Orange" once more ! A more sues maul retainer of office could not be named; he was termed " the Prince of Turncoats," and hence the feeling towards him ought nut to I S:Upper Canada Courier, after quoting an article horn a contemporary, commences a reply to it in the following most cement. atory and persuasive manner :—" Thou arrant knave ! Thou detest. able dissimulator! what dust thou mean by the above exquisite woe. man of utystificatory humbug I! !" UNITED SERVICE JOURNAL.—We extracted yesterday from the Morning Pal, a very interesting paragraph on Sloan Novi. patios, unconscious, until we perused this numberof the United Serriee Journal. that it first appeared in its pages. Such omissions on our pert, and we have no doubt on the part of our eotemporuies, are never intentional ; but so strictly correct is the sense of distributive justice is a friendly cotemporary, that he has not tailed to let the public know else error we have, it appears, committed--for which we thank him. His Majesty George IV. added 64 members to the Upper House. In this number are included individuals who have been raised to the Peerage, or in whose favour an abeyance has been terminated, as well as Peers of Scotland and Ireland who have obtained English ba. moles. No notice. however, is taken of the Scotch Peerages which were recently restored, nor of the creations of Peas of Ireland, of claims to English Peerages which have been admitted, nor of elevations of fag. lisp Peers to higher honouree. George 111. is said to have created 239 English Pr MI in about is 3 yew, i, e. hum 1760 to 1814, or on the average, something more than four per annum. The average number 'since 1814, the year in which the Prince Regent first created an English Peer, has been as nearly as possibly the sewer-449er to As Duke of IWellinglees on cruelty Peers for WI.
