The following are extracts : From the Messayer des Menial-es of Friday. REsULT OF VALDES'S INVASION.—Ii WM for the good of the Span:ill Constitutionalists that we yesterday pointed nut their discords, and til;:t we preached union to them. Wishing heartily the progress And triumph of their cause, we should have desired for the moment that they bad renounced establishing it by violence, being well assured that the majority of the public mind in the Peninsula is little disposed to adopt their principles in their fall extent. Tied by diplomatic engage., .newts. shrinking from the idea that its condescension might occasion a Livil wet in a neighbouring country, which it would be difficult to check t•tetwortis, in the midst of the effervescence of passions amongst the various parties, the French authorities had given orders to stop the :fugces on this side of the frontiers. But all these means to save - .hem from the blows that were to strike them were useless. The awn of Bayonne has almost experienced an insurrection of Its inhabi ...Ants, and of the National Guards, against the authorities, both civil i:.d military. The gate of the Marine Promenade was opened, the .tpanish Liberals precipitated themselves through that outlot, went to :uric a junction at Ville Franche, and on the 14th et Isyed the frontiers . t Ainhue, led by Valdes and Vigo, from 800 to !imi men in number. Events have sadly confirmed both our anticipations and our tears. Af. tor some success, which inflamed their hopes, this troop has been de. .troycd. A telegraphic despatch from Ilaymim states :I: it scarce 50 men hare escaped from this disaster. May such a lesson not discourage the Refugees, but make them feel the necessity of moderation and •of concord ! May it teach them to concert their Mea sures better,—to secure to themselves support lit the interior, — and prepare the elements of success Ly the communication of ideas and sentiments ! They will then, perhaps, meet with more sympathy in , their own country, and, perhaps, as we said yesterday, the measures found to he necessary will soften calamities, and recot.cile all parties.— 'Fhe defeat of Valdes is confirmed by the news received to.day, but it is said that Mina is determined upon entering Spain, in order to collect the remnants of the division of Valdes, or to penetrate still farther into the country, with more numerous and better disciplined forces, or finally to counterbalance, by this demonstration, the bad moral effect produced by a fast check. Valdes (who was said to have been taken or killed) suc ceeded in making his escape, with a few of his men. It is to be hoped that this chief will, for the future yield to the old military experience and personal consideration of Mina. The following is the bulletin of the liberating army of Spain, which we have received from our Spanish Correspondent : " On the 14th of October, at three o'clock, the brave Colonel Valdes marched into Urdach, with a force consisting of 400 men. Be was received throughout the country with shouts of Liberty f‘r ever ! '—and the acclamations ::of joy at his approach were unanimous. " On the 13th he reached Zugarraniurdi, where be met with the same r;:eption. The inhabitants displayikevery tlirectiJa the greatest ti,usissm at his arrival. •• A detachment marched towards Vera. Upon its arrival the in. I:abitants hastened to crowd round the ' liberating soldiers,' arid the most cordial feeling of fraternity exists between them. " In consequence of the vast number of patriots who have just joined tl•.• caps of the refugees, Colonel Valdes has been obliged to devote the satire day to the organization of the force now under his command. lie willlresume his march upon Iran on the 17th. " His glorious enterprize could, not commence under more favourable auspices—and they presage a decided victory. •• All good Spaniards, anxious to contribute their aid fur obtaining the liberty of their country, are hastening to quit France, and range themselves under the banner of the intrepid Valdes. " The signal has been given. Spain summonses all its children to its deliverance, and no doubt they will not be deaf to its voice. Zugarratnurdi, Oct. 16." (From El Precursor.) Wednesday, Twelve o'clock at night. A report was in circulation upon 'Change to-day, that a telegraphic despatch had announced to the Government that the liberating column under the command of Colonel Valdes, which h a d p e n e t ra t e d the Spanish territory was completely defeated. This unfortunate news ap. peared to us, confirmed from so many quarters, that we had written some observations upon the probability of its certainty ; but we hasten to suppress these remarks, in order to announce to our readers that, up to five o'clock in the evening the Minister of War hail no information on the subject, nor did the telegraphic despatches received this day from Bayonne and Bordeaux contain a single iota which related to the sup posed defeat of the Constitutionalists. Oa the contrary, those persons who arrived yesterday state that the liberators met with the most fa. vourable reception in every part of their native land. BOURG.MADAME, Oct. 13. (Private Correspondence,)—Our village has become the rendezvous ' of the Spanish refugees. Those individuals, driven from their country by the persecutions of the Count d'Espagne, have come to seek an way. lum in France. Their principal point of meeting is at Perpignan, from whence they proceed to the most distant parts of the department. The conduct of the Refugees is in general alm and moderate, and they are well received in this place where there exists great sympathy for their (From the Gaselier de France of Friday.) The theatre at Bordeaux is almost entirely deserted in consequence of the financial crisis which spreads distress and misery amongst all elastics of society. By an Ordinance of the 20th inst. a special Profes sorbhip of Foreign Literature had been established in Paris, and the Professor in this department will have similar advantages to those en. joyed by the other members of the faculty. (From the Messager des Chandwes of Friday.) A telegraphic despatch, sent to the Government by the Prefect of the North, on the 19th states , The Belgians occupy Antwerp. All Belgium is now free from the Dutch troops. From the Monikur of Thursday. Last Sunday, at the time of the grand review at Versailles, the num. bee of flags being found insufficient, at the moment that the turn came to the National Guard of Meudon, this guatd obtained permission to come and procure its flag itself, at the Palais Royal. it came this morning at noon, preceded by its band, and drew up under the windows of the King. His Majesty descended, accompanied by his two elder sons, and by General Lafayette, he himself presented the flag, and th e battalion defiled before him. The King pronounced," on this occasion, some of those words whickimpress themselves so deeply on thethearts of those who hear them ; and the troops and spectators replied with the most lively acclamations. After the disturbance of Monday night, 150 individuals were arrested atld conducted to the Prefecture of the Police. Forty.seven have al ready been beim the Proeureur of the King. The Interrogatories arc being completed. _ _ _ ClUmber orDeputies, which adjourned to the 10th of Novem. beris eeeivolcill for the 3d, by :e m em b ers ters addressed to each of the iis own house. The number and urgency of the affairs with which the Chamber will be occupied, render it desirable that the recess should be as short as possible. Of the 140 elections, 120 will take place on the 21st and 28th of October. They will thus be terminated by the 3,1 of November, and the greeter part of the new Members will have ar. rived by this time. The Amstrian Observer, of the 12th, received by an extraordinary conveyance, contains the following article : " VIENNA, OCT. 11. Reports have been lately spread to induce the least informed of the public to believe the danger of a war, not only to be inevitable, but also near. We know from a good source that these reports have only been invented to injure particular speculations, and we are authorised to de clue, In the most formal manner, that they only rest upon false sup pa:Woos, and can in no manner be justified, or even occasioned, by the measures adopted by our Government." This article, on its arrival at Frankfort on the 16th, caused the Aus. :rian Funds to the. ( Front Le Counter Francais.) There is much talk, at the Exchange, of a telegraphic despatch. •cnt from Bayonne by the Sub-Prefect, announcing in substance, t.hit the corps of General Valdes, amounting to eight hundred, or 'M) men, had been surprised and completely defeated, SO only having ,caped to take refuge in France. It is probable that there is some ex aggeration in this account, and that it has been got up to favour some speculations in the public funds. It is not impossible, after the late events at Bayonne, that the Sub-Prefect would not be favourably dis posed towards the Constitutionalists, and that he may have received too credulously the first vague rumours which came to the frontiers. The truth appears to be, that on the 16th Valdes occupied the vil lages of Uniache and Zugarramundi. Eight hundred royalist troops were tour leagues distant, and made no offensive movement. On she 17th, a skirmish took place between Valdez and the royalist troops t about 30 of the Constitutionalists fled to the French territory, which they soon quitted, to rejoin their companions at Zugarramundi. The hostile conduct of the Marquis de St. Priest towards his country hail received a recompense at the Court of Ferdinand. This Prince has heaped honours and pensions upon the Ambassador, who was unwilling to mount the national cockade. He has conferred upon him a peersgey with the tide of Duke D'Alniazan ; and, notwithstanding the penury e his Treasury, he has given bin, a pension of 6,000 piastres (30,000 ft.) and a command, 6,000 seals in value (nearly 15,000 fr ancs.)

PARIS, TRIIIILIDAT, OCT. 21. Tranquillity has been restored, and ceoftdence is returning ; but the , crisis is but postponed. After effecting the Revolution of July lots the , people mired from the scene, leaving the subsequent to a I those whom they deemed more competent to the task. to bane t hat manceuvre and trick were about to be used to screen from justice the Masters who had signed the ordonnances which had provoked the Rev°lutioc, the same men re-appealed es. rtionday night last, and proved unequivocally that they were as capable of a new effort as on the evening of the 27th of July. Persuaded that there wail no intention to cheat justice of its victims, they once more retired. Having been an eye witness of the whole of the transactions, I can aver that the persons held in check by the immense military ,force or. ?sued at the Palace Royal dorinj the lust two nights were net the men of whom I have abort spoken, and who ejtcled the Revel Niurt. The French Government must take cute to keep good faith with the people. No cause for doubting their sincerity must be arorded by meters. lam sure they are frank and single-minded, but they must not only be pure, but unsuspected. It their purity and impartiality shall remain unquestioned—if the confidence of the people be once c.ore re posed in them, I shall still rely on the justice, perhaps the magnanimity, of the men of the 27th, 28th, and 29th of July ; but if the slightest sp., pearance of shuffling be perceived or imagined about them, 1 shall ap. prehend much worse than the immolation of four victims. While I state that the men of the Faubourgs have nut appeared at the Palais Royal since Monday night last, I cannot suppress the facts that assemblages of the people took place in the Faubuurg St. Antoine last night ' • that, instead of dispersing when called upon t o d o so by a patrol of the National Guard, they surrounded the latter, and would have dis armed them, but for the opportune arrival of another body cf Natiancl Guards. You may expect, from time to time, to hear that emissaries of the disaffected succeed in producing temporary or local excitement ; but you may rely upon it the mass of the people arc disposed to wait the issue of the trial. What the issue they contemplate is you may conceive. From this very unpleasant topic I turn to one not lesshiainful—the slaughter of the Spaniards and Parisians who entered Spain last week. and which was announced yesterday evening by the Messager des Chanthres. The accounts of this disaster rest, It is said, on a des. patch received by M. Aguado. Hopes are entertained that it is inc. Jr. rcet ; at least that the extent of the misfortune is exaggerated. On ge m.ral principles the Parisians would lament the discomfiture and de struction of men seeking to free their country ; but they would have also peculiar and private reasons for sorrow, should this melancholy in. telligence be confirmed. A considerable number of Parisian students. who had fought so gloriously and so successfully in the cause of liberty in Paris, having, at their own expense, proceeded to the confines of Spain, to join the brave Spanish Refugees, entered with them, a•,d litive, it is reported, been cut WI to a man. The news from Iklgium is of a cheering description. The King's Speech, on opening Parliament, will, it is expected, be still more WM. factory to France. There arc in progress ver/ large speculations, for a rise is expected to take place in the French k unds on receipt of that do cument, and which we shall have this day week. It is quite evident that one obstacle in the way of a good understanding between the two Governments, is about to be removed, by the withdrawal of the prin. cipal part of the French army from Algiers. The unequivocal declara tion of France, that she seeks not to retain her Atrican conquests will, it is believed here, form a striking paragraph in the forthcoming Speech of William IV. but other circumstances may arise to defeat those hupes. . _ . " Bourse, Three o'cbck. The Funds have opened, and up to this time remain at prices below those of yesterday, owing, as is said on Change, to the large sales made by English proprietors, who, having taken alarm at the proceedings of, the people in the early part of the week, arc about to return home. Every thing rental/is perfectly tranquil up to this moment, and will I remain so for yet many days. Tha military force employed at the Palais Royal will not be diminished. Last night I thought it was more considerable than on any preceding one, although without any apparent reason. Vast crowds were present ; but nothing like distur bance occurred. The 31st regiment reinforced the National Guards, and remained during the most part of the night. Bourse, Four o'clock. The depression above noticed continued up to the termination of business, owing tr various circumstances, one of which Is the fall on your Exchange, which had been, no doubt, partially produced by the events in Paris. The news from Luxembourg, too, is looked upon as alarming. The transfer of the ex-Ministers from the Castle of Vincennes to the Petit Palais du Luxembourg (announced to take place this day) has bad its influence too. The Three per Cents have closed at G 4 30; the Five per Cents at 95 25. ANOTHER LETTER. Pasts, Thursday, Three o'clock. The news so industriously circulated yesterday by the banker of the Court of Spain respecting the arrival of a telegraphic despatch, an nouncing the destruction of the Spanish Constitutionalists under the command of Valdes, is entirely false—no telegraphic despatch of this nature having reached Government yesterday. The Moniteur of this day relates it only as a report circulated, and by no means as a des patch that had arrived. There is, however, some levity on its part in countenancing such a report. The Constilutimmeel and Le Temps alone had the good acute of refraining from the announcement of this false despatch. But this morning a real telegraphic despatch arrived, which an nounces Mina and other Spanish chiefs having entered the Spanish ter ritory. Valdes still preserves his position at Zugarramurdi. Forty men of his column returned to the French territory to provide themselves with arms they stood in need of, and which they could not procure in Spain. Gurres was to have entered on the 17th by way of lact. Aldus, Baiges, Grate, and San 31 iguel, were to have entered Catalonia at the same time. Thus is the invasion completed. The efforts of all Spa. niards are going to concur in the liberation of their native country. All the Journals of Paris have suffered themselves to be mystified by the imposture of M. Aguado.

An order of the day has just appeared, in which the Prince of Orange announces that in a few days the Dutch troops shall be removed into Holland, and that lie will remain in Belgium with those of that nation. The town is consequently released front the apprehension caused by General Chasse's letter to the Burgomaster, and, by the time you receive this, the separation between the two countries will be positively and definitively effected. The great joy caused by this certainly is somewhat mixed with anxiety for the Prince. His situation, political as well as personal, becomes every day more critical. He bu taken a bold step,—one worthy of the line of heroes whose name he bears. It is impossible to resist the impulse with which one is curled on to admire and sympathize with his career. Nothing can exceed his popularity here. This very rabble who parade the streets, with exclamations that have been hitherto the watchwords of rebellion, mingle at every moment loud shouts for the gallant Prince who has thus set his fortunes and his existence at stake. Every ac count from Brussels proves the rapid progress which his cause is making there; and it is scarcely to he doubted that even the violent mem bers of the Jacobin Club must yield to, and join in, the general impulse. General Van (keen has arrived from the Hague to take the command of the Dutch troops, and to conduct them home. Malines was evacuated yesterday by the military, who retreated upon this place ; and though some rash and ridiculous skirmishing took place at the village of Duffel, in which is few lives were lost, it is not likely to affect the peaceable evacuation of the Belgian provinces. Those who now wish to understand the relative situations of the two separate divi. visions of the Netherlands will do well to consult a map.— They will there see the exact position of provinces, which are often confounded with each other-the natural consequences of the repeated political changes to which the country has been subject. It is to be observed, that out of the nineteen provinces composing the kingdom of the Netherlands (including the Grand Duchy of Lux embourg), six only have joined in this revolt, namely, South Brabant, Liege, Namur, liainault, Etat and West Flanders. Three others, properly belongin. , to Belgium, have remained steady to the King, Antwerp, Liniboitrg, and North Brabaut. Luxembourg has made no movement of rebellion, and the fortress is garrisoned by Prussian sol diers. The nine northers; provinces, North and South Holland, Zen. land, Guelders, Utrecht, O veryase l, Drenthe, Friesland, and Gronin gen, are perfectly staunch in their allegiance. MR. O'CONNELL'S LETTER TO THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND. " The proclamation signed by Sir Henry Hanlinge, an English offi cer, holding a situation here, and paid with our money, prohibits a so. ciety,which has as yet no existence,ftom meeting. This set is according to law—that is—there is a statute in force enabling this Englishman to prevent Irishmen from consulting together in order to obtain legal or legislative relief. " The proclamation will, of course, be obeyed—readily obeyed.— That obedience does not alter the nature of the conduct of those who prevent Irishmen from meeting, but it is essential to our future success implicitly to obey this proclamation. There are but three things which can impede the now certain repeal of the Union. " The first is bigotry. By religious animosity we were degraded and divided. The enemies of Ireland will endeavour to excite it again. It is their old game ; but I am convinced the endeavour will now be futile. " The second is—The organisation of secret societies and adminis tering of illegal oaths. I learn, from undoubted authority, that this attempt is on foot—l call on the people, as their friend—l warn them to avoid every Illegal society, and every oath whatsoever. " The third is—Any attempt at force as violence. The Anti-Union cause would be annihilated if there was any attempt made to achieve it by force. Upon this point I desire to be most emphatic. Irish men I no man but a bitter enemy of Ireland will think of using force or violence. I think I can confidently pledge myself that the Union cannot bat unless some attempt be made to dissolve it forcibly. " Any efrnt of that kind would disgust all good men.

TlMM—Among the objections made to to , actual state of our re presentation, one of gr.ut moment undonbteilly that from the pro digious changes which have taken place in the contlit!,:t of various districts of this country, towns or boroughs which in forever ages had representatives to sii,ned to them because of their opulence or population, have since declined in both blow that point at which they could origi nally have put forth any title to the privilege ; while elhetv!tcre, spots unknown little further back than half a ce-tury, have swelled into greatness of wealth and numbers, and arc left to the humbug of virtual representation for the guardiuiship of their local interests in Parliament. Unquestionably it must appear nothing less than mon strous, that in a country where representative Government is not quite an acknowledged farce, one half-ruined house like Old Sarum should enjoy the power of choosing Jegislators to coerce the free agency and fetter the interests of more than half a million of Englishmen, inhabit. ing the immense commercial emporia of Manchester, Leeds, Binning. ham, and Sheffield, while these latter places cannot approach, but as petitioners, that house wherein the delegates of Batton and Old Sarum are seated in security artd full legislative power. It is evident that the ancient maxims of British state policy must all have been abandoned ere such a marvellous contrast could have arisen between right without representation, and representation wholly devoid of right. Posr.—The Proclamation of the Irish Government, issued so op. portunely for the suppression of present mischief and the frustration of future rebellious designs, we are happy to find, has not only given just confidence to the loyal, but already dismayed the disaffected, who, what. ever their ultimate purposes may be, affect at least for the present to respect the law upon which the wise and vigorous measure in question is founded. The cloven tbot, however, still sufficiently displays itself; for although Mr. O'Connell, in a letter addressed by him to the People of Ireland, recommends in the first instance submission to the law, he immediately afterwards proposes the formation of a Society not less mis chievous in its tendency than that which the proclamation goes directly to suppress. In this insidious proposition, however, the prime Agitator proves himself to be as palpably defective in legal knowledge as he Is noto riously remiss in loyal obedience ; for the new seditious ssociation recom mended by him would be no less dangerous, and consequently no less cognisable by the existing law, than that against which the wise Pro. clamation of the Government is expressly and distinctly directed. The Executive therefore will be duly watchful of the dark and dangerous proceedings of this restless Agitator and disturber of his country's peace ; and his motives being thus apparent, even through the veil so artfully thrown over them, the strong arm of the law will, we trust, not fail to be employed in the efiectual frustration of such infamous designs. HERALD.—The German sovereigns arc said to be effected with a panic at the progress of the Belgian insurrection. If their fears were to teach them wisdom it would be well fur mankind. They have created the cause of their own alarm by governing, not in accordance with, but in contempt of, public opinion. They could not bear the language of truth : they proscribed it from their palaces ; they! silenced it in the journals; but now they are forced to hear it when it speaks in a voice of thunder ! It is clear that sovereigns who are taken completely unawares by the present state of things in Europe lied no foresight—no political sagacity whatever—neither they nor their Nlinisters ; yet such a state of things, or something like it, had been often predicted by writers who wished Kings to understand that their own honour and se curity could have no lasting foundation but in the happiness of their sub jects. But this, which is the object of all good government, scarcely ever entered into the thoughts of those Continental Kings and Cabinet., who i now find all their military barriers but feeble bulwarks against the flood of revolution. Like the Roman Emperors, they impiously Sr. rogated to themselves a Divine title, while their mode of exercising power betrayed anything but the attributes of Divinity. They al lowed themselves to be intoxicated with that insidious poison which most deranges the understanding and corrupts the heart, and enjoyed the incense of flattery as the fumes of cheer daily sacrifice. Who can wonder that, in their vain notions of regal excellehce and contempt for the people, they lost sight of all those great duties which con. stitute the virtuous and wholesome efficiency of power I —Who can wonder that they considered themselves exempt from the obligations of morality, and that they thought it neither crime nor tits. honour to violate the most solemn engagements when it suited their in. wrests or inclinations ? Some of them now hold :heir Crowns only in consequence of the patriotic spirit with which, alter their armies had been repeatedly beaten by Napoleon, their people rose and drove the in vader from their soil, and which spirit was excited by Royal promises of Constitutions and civil improvements, which promises have been most shamefully violated. It is because we arc enemies to the subversion of order, and everything which tends to promote anarchy, that we tell these plain truths to those who, by hating and persecuting truth, and unjustly exercising power, have, with the exception of England, convulsed the whole state and elements of society in Europe. Could any •policy, based on the broad foun d ation of wisdom and virtue—could any polity that did not contain within itself the principle of its own destruction, after an undisturbed growth of 15 eare—be shaken to pieces by the events of three days Y Such is the stability *Attie policy which such a statesman as lleuernich, and his pupils, have built up to overawe the mind of Europe, and to keep in eternal vassals; e the: mot dreaded enemy of unjust power—opinion. It is time to try another course—not the course of war and desolation, with the vein idea of preventing the progress of political reformation—but the course of justice, of conciliation, and of voluntary improvement, which it is yet in their poser to do, and thereby render the revolutionary spirit harmless, be:tee violence proceeds teo tar to listen to the counsels of mason. Cliaonscxx.--As to invasiocs of English liberties— attempts made against the liberties of the people of this country, who is to make the attempt; In France there was a struggle between the King and the nation, and the King was defeated. But who is to make an attempt against English lib.rties Will a Boroughmonger Government at. tack Botoughmongers ? Dog, says the Tu.kish proverb, will not eat dog. Would Boroughmongers be such arrant fools as to cut their own throats by making the King absolute? Why, they derive all their consequence from the Parliament. ' The English people would in some way resist." Resist, how ? Would the English people resist any encroachment on its liberties by the Parliament ? Be. cause any person in this country would be Insane to think of ,any attack on the people, except through Parliament. Ours le a Parliamentary Government. The Oligarchy names the Parliament, and the King is merely the head. Every thing in England Is different from what it seems, and this able Reviewer, while extolling the French for their promptitude in resisting encroachments on their liberties, still exerts himself to perplex the question, by speak ing u if there was any resemblance between the position and character of the French Chambers, and those of the Parliament of England. The question in this country can never be between the Government and the Parliament, but between one division of the Parliament and another— between the ins and the outs--between the shares of the loaves and fishes and those who seek to share them. From the top to the bottom, every thing in England is fiction, and hence we find this able writer con. Mainly comparing realities in one country with what in another • country have nothing in common with t•:.m bet the tame. All that the writer says about the Frenen Pc, . a s.s. tits to us Ii I•le to the same hjection—naniely, that objects es- entiaily distinct ate eantrasted with etch other. •' If Nubility (he says) is to expire with ea:h Pets that is created, what an enormous influence is given to the Crown over the fa milies of the Aristocracy ?" He might as well say •• what inflow, an American President has over the families of the Senile ! there ! is a real, and not a virtual Representation, the Crown is necessarily hien ii ' nett with the nation, and no one would ever dream of the idea of neekiiii in Peerage to counteract the Representatives of the Nation. The ten, would have no motive for 'raking themselves obnoxious to the natioa, by opposing the Deputies, for the sake u: a King 1 who durst not resist the Deputies. The prevailing idea in Fraece l'iat the elevation to the Peerage should he altogether a partottal dia enction, and the sons of Peers would no more think of sure' ding to the Peerage than the son of a Judge would think of sueeve,:ing to a Judgeship. A Senator in America never thinks that his Solt st mold succeed to a Senatorship. The F.nglish Aristocracy are pm; mu! in ' property, and possess the Government ; and the people being t!•eir yin. perty, it is natural they should think their sons ought to succeed to the property. But in France the people are everything Ow Aristocracy a matter of history ; and the people. Navin„ or,ir utility in view, wish to have a Peerage in the sense of a Smia ie. Tne PtieraAc of England ought to be put out of the question, whet we ate speaking of a country like Frances THE GRAND DINNER IN I', E CITY. Yesterday, a Court of Aldcnu Wa, tiummorid to meet at two o'clock, at the Guildhall, to take into consideraticn the ;no , adritetbio means of disposing the police fore,! of the city on the llth of Noventhrr, and making some minor preparations for the reception to their Majes. ties. There did not assemble, howver, 11l Ore than eight Aldermen, and, of course, a Court could not be made. Thew- alto rwt then j9iucil the Committee, and the subject was ent2r,:d up in, hut nothing deti•ii: was done. His Majesty was graciously pleaseil to intioilt; to the Consts;;.tee, that he would set out for the Guildhall in nose to reach it a , e o'clock, and the Committee are in daily expectation of receivn-,.. Majesty's list of viaitors. The doors of the Guthiliall are to be tit, ta ts open for the Common C ounc il men an d t h e i r ladies from one to thre e o'cliwk. The Lord Mayor is to return from Westminster by water to Blickfriars-hridge, and to proceed straight to the Guildhall, as it is cal culated that if his Lordship should go in procession to Temple-ism- ; meet the King. the obstructions in the way of the two cavalcades wouLi he productive of great confusion. The Garen ors of Christ's Ilmnpitnl having determined that his M. jesty shell b, n'tirissed by one of the boys, according to the ancient etistont, a phstfurs is to be erected within the railings of St. Paul% chute- I .lyard. exactly opposite to Ludgate-hill. All the scholars will stand on this platform, and flags and decorations will meet the eve upon all sides, while the eldest boy will read a short address to His ilaj;isty as the royal carriage pries. The address will not occupy two minotsu in the reading, the season of the year having been very properly taken into consideration by thosa who thoug'at it necessary not to allow such a privilege to slip from them. It is supposed that from V 4 to 770 will dine in the hall, and the ounitux do not consider that it will ba necessary to have tables laid out in the old Court of King's Bench. No gallery is its be erected round the hall. The Expense incurred by the erection of the magnificent gallery in the year 111314, as well as the great inconvenience attratZi:l4 the admission of 800 persons, in addition to the compaay, were, we burros:. the. bar to this arrali.,,,ement. It has term customary to compare the approaching ocmastoo with that of the period at which the Prince Regent and the Monarchs dired at Guildhall, but there is no analogy. The eisit of the It; ; ent and the Can tinental Kings was very different from u hat Willi= tha Four:l..** will be, as to the occasion and as to ule er toe. The interval between the day of invitation of ti;,; &c. and the of the dinner, was eight days, from the 10th to the lash of June. and the preparations were made with the utmost rapidity, am: with corms. ponding expense. . _ _ Sesci•al persons from the City Companies, ur.d eh' various trades, were in waiting to ascertain the sentiments of the Committee, as Lathe aid they should render on the approaching day.

CH•RTLEY TILE FATALIST.--Tho unprecedented pop lathy of that admirable work " Cyril Thornton," has stimulated ano ther of Blackwood's contributors to appear in the field of fiction, with a new Novel, called Chartley the Fatalist. This work, like Cyril Thorn ton, records the adventures of a gentleman of birth and fortune, during his youth and manhood, but with this difference, that Chartley is it flu. eneed through the days of his manhood by a strange fatality. from one of the most extraordinary marriages that 1115,4 j:. chaps ever solemnized. So remarkable indeed is this event. wl:tch is from life, considered to be, even by the author himself. that he has thought it ne cessary to certify its truth in a r.otic prefixed to his volumes. The undermentioned Fast India Company'es slips arrived at Bombay as follows ; viz. the Duchess of Athol irod Thomas Coons. the former on the 17th, and the latter on the 22d of April ; and the Abercrombie Robinson, on the 14th of May.

The prof'. aition was, however, overruled by an immense inajori , y, and the Vestry adjourned sine die.

CANAL PACKETS.—There were launched on Adenine week, at Lynn, two curious packet boats, or !tither a twin boat, earned William the Fourth and Queen Adetaine, intended to ply between Goole and Knottingky, on the Aire and Calder Navigation Conip.asy's Canal, in conjunction, it is said, with pickets and coaci•es, when wilt form a direct conveyance from Hull, by way of Goole, to Leeds, Wake. field, and other manufacturing towns in Yorkshire and in Lancashire. This packet is built on a new and highly scientific conrituction. invented in Scotland, and introduced into England by Caa:ain John Moody, ut Goole. She is of great length. affording comforahle &coitus., for paimengers, having spacioo. cabins and other apartments. She owe justly be termed a twin whit, Pitying two keels, two stem posts. with a tunnel pawing through tie middle, ineenionsly construeted so as lei make her very stiff and of an easy draught of water. Her speed will be at least eight or nine miles an hoar, and will overcome that surge which has hitherto proved so inconvenient and dertmetive to cotes! banks. Another vessel, of the same construction, will be isuLehed at Lynn in a few days, and prectid to Genie.
