The rep arat i on s made f.ir her reception were on a scale vivin ensuraie with her high tank, and that of her il lustrious brother. Immediately opposite the statue of Culottes ii. in the centre of the large square, in the College, a commodious platform was erected, enclosed with a canopy of c invass, projecting over the balus lades into the river, and forming a sort of colonnade. It being un derstood that her MAJESTY was in that ii s ate health as not to be able to walk, a trap-door 'u s made in the fi aoring of this erection, in order that the might be swayed up (in a chair constructed for the ea rpose), and a small sle ge or truck was also con. ; mute d, up-n which the chair was to be placed, and by that means to convey her ..MAJUTT to her carriage. In addition to the sucsl police, a large party from Bow-street, Bader the su perintendence of lii•hop and Taunton, were stationed p e ar the platform. At nine o'clock the Guard of Honour, com posed of the Grenadier Guards, under the command of Lord James Hay, took their station in the square, followed by a party of the sd Regiment of Life Guards, who were placed near the Painted Chamber.

The old hole is perfectly stopped, and the clay and clay bags, &c. have not been at all displaced. The recent irruption has been from a smaller bole over the sixth frame, where the ground was previously known to be extremely bad. This, from the eddy described on Monday, had been so softened as to yield, and admit the entrance of the water. The new hole is perpendicular, and has only to he filled as the former one. The raft has answered the purpose for which it was employed most perfectly. The object was stated on Monday to be the prevention of any sudden rush of water in any one spot. This it has effected, since, notwithstanding the new hole being of a size to adrni water to fill the tunnel as completely as the first, it rose very slowly and gradually. A. Meeting of Directois was held yesterday, at the Company's Office, to r ceise from Mr. Bays= a report of the progress of the steps taken to stop the leak. Thai Gentleman's repot t was of a favourable nature. He state: that the raft had been brought to the surface of the water, and that preparations are again taken to sink it, loaded in such a manner as to prevent it being driven away from its place of destinattm by the action of 'the current.

BUCE ISOM A M'S TR A VELS IN MESOPOTAMIA—Among the recent investigations in the East by this traveller, the reader will be particularly interested by his researches, as to the site of the ancient city of Numeral, so often and so awfully alluded to by the inspired Prophets. Mr. Bodetecttaw appears to have traced satisfactorily the remains of the buildings. From the height," be says, "on which we stood, extending our view to a considerable distance in every direction, we could not certainly perceive any marked delineation of one great outline; bat mounds, and smaller heaps of ruins were scattered widely over the plain, salaam% to prove that th e site of the original city occupied a east extent." The traveller then goes on to describe the general locality, the so called tomb of the prophet Jonah, and the antique intaglios and bieroglyphics which have been dug up; and the whole of his inves tigation tends to confirm the accounts in the mitred writings, as siren as in the historians, Moderns Siculias, and Jesephstsi PATENT LAW& Yesterday, a numerous Meeting of persons interested in the subject of Patent., was held at the Mechanics' Institute. After some time had elapsed beyond the hour originally named for the Wining, Major SIGAW was called to the Chair, and an apology made for the absence of the Marquis of Cit..tualcaaria, who it wise expected would have presided. Dr. BIRKISCCIC moved the first Resolution, declare. tory of the opinion entertained by the Meeting, that the present mode of granting letters patent for mechanical inventions, or chemical discovei ier, was ineffectual and oppressive. Of the necessity for some changes in this respect, no one could entertain a doubt, she examined the subject with any degree of attention. The fact, however, was, that there sere at Omni no laws affect. ing the subject at all. The granting of patents depended entirely on the mere dictum of the Attorney and S3li. citor General. for the time being—(Hear). Mr. FLANAGAN seconded the motion, whieh passed unanimously. Mr. RITNII, a Brrrister and Patentee, moved the next resolution, for the adoption of a petition to the Legislature, praying the appointment of a Committee, to Inquire into the bearings, operation, and vexations, attending the present system of the Patent Laws. The re,iilution ss as then put and carried unanimously. The petition was 'then read, which merely embodied the opiniqns of the meeting on the sulect under con sideration, and contained a prayer for the Committee of Inquiry. LAW INSTLTUTION. Yesterday Oa first - Annual _General Meeting of the Membeisrlithis Institution took place at Furnivars-inn. It was formed for die very necessary purpose, amongst others, of giving inaermation to those of the profession who are in need of it, by means of a library, and of fa cilitating the transaction of business. Some of the most eminent men in the profession were pre Ant. RICHARD WHITE, Esq. in the Chair. The Report stated, that 456 members of the poo fession had subscribed to the institution to the amount of 44,1501. of whom 347 had paid the first call, the amount of whose sums formed four-fifths of the whole. —The di bursements amounted to 3711. Is. and the funds had been invested in Exchequer Bills, with the exception of 34.01. 9s. remaining in the banker's hands ; that so many individuals had already shewa their approbation of the plan by paying their first instalment; that they h id no d .übt the full amount originally coo templated—nasnely,so,oool.—would be eventually col leCted, when the objects of the institution wrre more geneially known among the profession ; and that they trusted that the members would not have occasion ulti mately to regret the delay which must necessarily occur in accomplishing the whole measure in a manner cal culated to ensure the respectability and permanency of the institution. The idea of this institution, it appears. was suggested by the singular fact, that whilst the various public bodies, companies, and commercial and trading classes in the metropolis, and indeed in many of the prin- cipal towns in the kingdom, have long po,sessed places of general resort for the more convenient transaction of their business, and while numerous in- I sti.utions for promoting literature and science amongst all ranks and conditions of society have been long esta blished, and others are daily springing up, the attornies and solieitors should still be without an establishment in London to afford them similar advantages; more particularly when the halls and libraries of the Inns of Court, the clubs of barristers, special pleaders, and con. veyancers, Etc. furnish a strong presumption of the ad vantages which would probably result from an estaSlish mtnt of a similar description for atternies in London. Mr. Twee, in moving that the report be received, dwelt upon the advantages which must, in his opinion, arise from the institution to the young men of the profession, in establishing uniformity and liberality of practice, and advancing their education to that state to which every Gentleman ought to aspire. It was cal culated to further the interests of the profession, to abridge its labour, and at the same time enable it to preserve its relative position in society, and thus ob viate the reproach that whilst all other classes are in a rapid progress of improvement, and forming establish ments for promoting it. the members of a liberal profession should alone remain stationary. Mr.Saimouu said, that he should gi►e the institution his most vigorous support s but the younger branches of the profession were those who would derive ad vantage from it. They would be supplied whh information through the means if amass of books which no clerk could afford to purchase. They would be made acquainted with other members of the profes sion to whom their characters would recommend them, and by wham their interests would be promoted ; and the profession held so large a space in society, and had 69 great an influence upon it, that the institution must be of considerable importance. He then moved that the Meeting viewed with satisfaction the progress already made, &c. • The ft:solutions were unanimously adopted ; after which the Meeting were besought to exert themselves vigorously for the service of the Institution. NORWICH. Just & DNB 4DFUL AND DISTAUCTIVE FlRlL—Wednesday 14q, a dreadful fire broke out in the parish of South Walsham ; it originated, it is supposed, from the care lessness cf a cottager, who imprudently threw a shovel of ashes into a yard in which there was a quintity of dry manure, inclosed by a fence of furze; atter a short time the faggots ignited. and being acted upon by the wind, large portions r f the destructive &emetic were carried in a north east direction, and some communi cated to the premises if William Jary, Esq. and de stroyed four of his barns and the vicarage barn in •his possession; three stacks of wheat, which, with the corn in the barns, amounted to nine score coombs, a haystack 60 feet long, the dwelling-house, cart-lodges, piggeries, &c. &c. The roof-and interior of the Church i" coos pletely consumed; and the bells falling with the sur rounding flame,, one was entirely melted down and the other rendered useless. Several cottager' have bees deprived of their dwellings by this most unfortunate occurrence. The Church destroyed was that cf S•. L•urence, of which the Rev. Mr. Toplitz is Rector. No part of the property was insured. CORN EXCHANGE, MARX-LANE„,ltraa d.
