THE KING'S COURT. Their Majesties received a visit yesterday, at Bushy House, from the Duchess of Cumberland, who went from her re sidence, at Kew, to pay a visit to the King and Queen. The Princess Augusta and the Duchess of Gloucester remain on a visit to their Majesties. The Earl of Aberdeen, Sir Robert Peel, and Mr. Frankland Lewis, had interviews with the Duke of Wellington, yesterday afternoon, at the Treasury. A deputation of the distillers, from different parts of the United Kingdom, attended yesterday at the Treasury, and had a conference with the Chancellor of the Exchequer. WINDSOR, July S. -.row— The preparation( for the funeral are proceeding with great anti. ty. Mr. Mash, from the Lord Chamberlain'n.ogice, with a number of men' in the employment of hiessrs.Bandng, arrived late last night to arrange the drapery which is to cover the timber-work already constructed within and without the walls of Windsor Castle. At pee. sent there is no part of the arrangements so definitively despatched as to admit of specific description, and there are daily theiations in their progress. The reports which have issued item some of the public prints, of the private property of the late King, are not ae . tilted here. His private pension list was heavy, and iis occasional presents to those around him were very munificent. The incessant alterations which were made in his furniture (always very expensive) were costly, and although there remains a vast quantity of rich plate and fUrniture, provided from the King's privy purse, and conse. quentjy not comprehended in the list of crown property, yet it is not thought their value amounts to any thing like the sum conjectured In some of the public prints. The late King's stud was also very expensive, and not as successful on the turf as might have been ex pected, from the sums lavished in its maintenance. , HER MAJESTY QUEEN ADELAIDE. Her Majesty is the daughter of George Fluderich Charles, Duke of Saxe Coburg Meiningen, by Louisa Elena% daughter of the Prince of Hohenlohe Langenburg. Her Majesty was been on the 13th of Aug. 1792, and was baptised by the nuns of Adelaide Louisa Theresa Caroline Amelia. In 1803 the Duke, her father, died, leaving his Duchess Regent of the Duchy, and guardian of his children, the present Duke, her Majesty, and her sister,' the present Duchess of Saxe Weimar. The excellent Duchess devoted her whole attention to the education of her children, and the happiness of the people entrusted to her care. The Duchy of Meiningen was too insignificant to attract the atten. Lion of the Emperor of France, and it was left undisturbed, and its little Court uncorrupted; and its Princesses, when grown up, became tcelebtated for their exemplary conduct. Our late excellent Queen, Charlotte, had long kept her eye upon this virtuous family, which, flourishing like an Oasis in the great esert of corrupted Germany, had attracted much of her regard and j attention ; and, when she udged it prudent that the Duke of Clarence should marry, strongly pressed upon his attention the Princess of Meiningen. A marriage between the illustrious parties wu the result, which took place at Kew, on the Ilth July, 1818, at which time the marriage ofsbe Duke and Duchess of Kern, which had previously taken place in Germany, was solemnised wording to the rites of the Church of England. Soon after the remony, the Duke and Duchess of Clarence wort to Hanover, where they remained till the spring of 1819, In the month of Blare!' that year, her Royal Highness was delivered of a seven. months child, which expired soon after its birth, and was in. terred in the royal vault at Hanover. Shortly after her re covery the Duke and Duchess visited Meiningen, where they spent six weeks, amidst the rejoicings of the inhabitants at their coming among them. In October, 1819, they le ft Meinin. gen, on their return to England, and the Duchess, who was again pregnant, probably owing to the fatigue of the journey, had the misfortune of suffering a miscarriage at Dunkirk. After her very the Duke and Duchess spent six weeks at Weimer Castle, where her health was restored, and they spent their winter in Lon. don ' • after which they took up their permanent residence at Busby. Her Royal Highness again gave premature birth to a Princess, who, however, appeared likely to live, and, at the desire of his late Ma. jesty, was baptized Elisabeth ; but when about dun months old it was seised with a fatal illness, by which it was taken out of life in a few hours. Within six months after that event her Royal /Demon suffered another miscarriage; and no change in her Ma. jesq's state has since been announced. Her Majesty Queen Ade. aic is charitable, and has long been a blessing to the poor round Bushy Park. The following is the list of appointments in the Queen's Household, which have been. just made : Ladies of the Bedchamber—Marchionesa Wellesley, Marchioness of Mayo, Countess of Brownlow, Countess of Cawdor, Countess of Westmeath, and Lady Clinton. Maids o f Honour—Miss Olivia de Roos, Miss Eden, Miss Courtenay Boyle, Miss Hope Johnstone, Miss Mitchell, and Miss Sneyd. Bedchamber Women—Lady William Russell, Lady Isabella Wemyss; Lady Caroline Wood, Dowager Lady Bedingfield, Mrs. Berkely Paget, and Mrs. Hope. There are rumours of all kinds respecting the late King's will. It is said, that in some of the recent visits of the Lord Chancellor, he added codicils to the former will which he had prepared, and that he has in one of them left his stud to Lord Mountcharles. The Dukes of Cumberland and Wellington have been upon sudden visits with Sir W. Knighton, respecting the late King's private affairs; the King had himself, to several members of his family, expressed his wishes respecting them, but Dot in every instance so definitively as might have been wished : the fact is, that up to a very late period the King indulged in a hope of speedy recovery, and oc cupied himself a good deal with anticipations arising out of that feeling. Baron Charles de Rothschild, and Baron Anselm de Rothschild, arrived from• Paris last night. Sir Robert Peel Is said to have openly given in his ad hesion to Mr. Hume as a candidate for Middlesex ; which may, in some measure, account for the Honourable Member for Aberdeen's subdued tone towards the Govern ment since the commencement of the new reign. Mr. H. Grattan hu given notice of a motion, for Thursday next, upon the distressed state of the people of Ireland, and of Dublin in particular, with a view to adopt soma plan to alleviate the -evils arising from the absen tees, and the consequent want of employment among the inhabitants of that country. Mr. R. Grant's notice of motion, which stands for this evening, is for an Address to his Majesty " touching the expediency of making provision ag • t dangers to which the country might be exposed by a demise of the Crown." It is said that, if Sir Edward Codrington were to start for Westminster, he would probably walk over the course.

Bds. 5 per Ct.: some wounds which wera quite unnecessary to have been left so long existing; but the paxacea for the evils of Ireland, is not yet found. There is some morbid process going on—some virus still working its way through the system—for which a specific must be soon applied, or Ireland will still continue the scene of increasing distress. There cannot be a doubt that some species of misgo vernment is the cause of her evils; and, it appears, that owing to something it has generated in the state of society, it is not easy to correct. The remedy, under such cir cumstances, which reason seems to dictate, and which mankind, in such predicament, has always spontaneously adopted, is emigration. To facilitate a population leaving a country which refuses nurture as the reward of labour, appears to us to be the duty of those who have the inte rests of their unfortunate country at heart. It is idle to suppose that any one class of society. in Ire land, are the voluntary tormentors or destroyers of the other. The fact is, that the several classes of society bear down and necessarily crush each other. We believe, there fore, that unless a complete revolution were to take place in the state and present organization of society, no other remedy can be found, but to render it possible for Ireland to pour forth its swarms on some other shores, where there is more room for the exertion of that lab4ur, by which man is doomed to obtain his support. The important question of the Regency will come under discussion this night in Parliament; and, probably, some interesting developements will be made of the views of Government, and the other parties in the State, on thii trying subject. We really see no difficulty which could exist in the se lection of a Regent or Regency, provided the na tional interests, and the concurrent voice of the Bri tish people, were to be allowed to determine the question. That we should pass by, highly qualified males, and limit our choice to unqualified females, as some authoritative writers recommend, appears to us, a truly absurd line of conduct. The peculiar position of the Duke of CUMBERLAND, as regards his proximate right to the crown of Hanover, certainly appears to *squalify him as Regent ; to which, on other grounds, he might naturally aspire. But is there not another Royal Duke, whose conduct and character have been uniformly such as to propitiate, and justly to pro pitiate, the popular love, to whom the people of England might naturally look with confidence for the protection of their dearest interests ? As subjects whose hopes are most sanguine as to the future conduct of our present Sovereign, we have ob served, with the highest gratification, the family circle which he has already assembled around him. Domestic harmony and affection is the best proof that virtue rules in the capitol. We have statedhere our prima facie views on the subject of the Regency. We know many relative circumstances may exist,to embarrass and perplex the most expedient solution of the question ; and we shall look for the Parliamentary Debate of this night, with much anxiety, to afford us light on this deeply interesting CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The stock-jobbing reports of yesterday have entirely vanished this morning, and the funds have resumed their former prices, with a steady market. Consols, which left off at 93ff for the account, opened at the same prices, with little doing at present. The falling off of the quarter's revenue has not had any material effect on Consols, which are for August account 94 to A. In the foreign market business is at a stand, and the prices are nominal as per yesterday. A mail has arrived from Rio Janeiro, by the Syrian, sailed 6th May ; from Bahia 13th May ; also a Halifax mail, by the Barracouta, left Halifax 15th June; Ber muda 31st May. At Rio Janeiro all was tranquil. There was no poli tical news. Exchange ; their stock 694. Prince Edward Island Papers to the 9th June, and New Brunswick to the 6th June, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. Their contents are void of interest. Previous to the sailing of the Hussar frigate from Bermuda, Vice-Admiral Colpoys had arrived from England, and assumed the command of the North American and West India stations. Accounts from Campeachy state, that a revolution took place in the capital of Tobosco, on the 18th April, by the seduction of the troops. The Commandant- General, acting Governor, and several others in autho rity, were imprisoned; as were all foreigners, chiefly Americans. CITY, HALF-PAST ONI. THIRSTY, Juwn 19. —The troubles in Albania and Bosnia become more serious every day. The insurgents frequently violate the Austrian territory, committing great excesses; in consequence of which a new cordon of troops is to be established. All commercial relations with Janina and Scutari, are interrupted. According to commercial letters from Constahtinople, they are waiting the arrival of the Capitan Pasha, to send a strong division of ships in the Mediterranean. It was reported yesterday in Paris, that the elections fixed for the 12th July is to be adjourned. The Consol market is not so good as in the early part of the morning, when they were 93{ for the Account, and at present they may be quoted 93j. In the Foreign Market they are quite idle, no business doing, prices much the same as yesterday. The Share Market is dull. South Metropolitan Gas 2i to pre mium. PROVINCIAL NEWS. BILAWICK ELECTION.-201r. Gye, the present Mem ber for Chippenham, stands for Berwick—his friends state with every prosp ect of success. He is reported to have been promised e suffrages of many of the London voters. Although Lord Milton resigns the Representation of Yorkshire, his Lordship does not altogether retire from Parliament. He will sit for Peterborough, which place the Attorney-General quits, and will try, it is said, his chance at Guilford. We state, from undoubted authority, that his Most Gracious Majesty King William the Fourth, with his amiable Consort, are expected at Brighton in the space of three weeks, and that active preparations are making at the Pavilion for the reception of the Royal Guests— an honour which cannot fail to be duly appreciated by the inhabitants of that truly loyal and distinguished wa tering place.—Sesser Advertiser. It is a circumstance not unworthy of being noted at the present moment, that the new King, although styled William IV. of Great Britain, is properly only William 111. of Scotland, as we have had but one William in our roll of Kings previous to the union of the Crowns, while the English had two. In old works of exclusive Scottish history, it is common to find the Sovereign known in English history by the title of William 111. styled Wil liam H.—Caledonian Mercury. The brewers, throughout both town and country, are busily employed in preparing extra supplies of " heavy wet," to meet the increased demands of the approaching general election. The holders of bad wine, too, are all on the qui vice. Thus a spirited election is likely, at least in one sense, to work some mischief to the Consti tution. The drooping ash, which the Duke of Devonshire transplanted from the neighbourhood of Derby to the North front of his mansion at Chatsworth, is in a most flourishing condition, and appears not to have suffered in the least by its removal. The bird commonly known by the appellation of the storm-cock has built its nest in the branches, and is rearing there a numerous progeny. The city of Rochester will be smartly contested at the forthcoming election. H. Dundee, Esq. one of its pre sent members, retires ; and Lord Villiers, son of Earl Jersey, is canvassing the citizens in the Tory interest.— R. Bernal, Esq. the other representative, is again in the field, in the independent interest. And W. Hughes Hughes, Esq. who contested the city of Oxford at the last general elestion, is a candidate for the new or pink party at Rochester. LANARKSHIRE POLITICS.—The anticipated early dissolution of Parliament has created a lively stir in our local politics. Sir John Maxwell, of Pollock, has started for the representation of the county of Lanark, in oppo sition to Colonel Douglas. Both parties have now taken the field, and there will be a hard run for the victory.— From all we can learn, however, the Douglas party will bear down the house of Hamilton ; and the return of a Tory Member to Parliament is next to certain. Sir Mi chael Shaw Stewart, the present locum teams, will, in all probability, turn his attention to his own county of Renfrew. The new candidate for Dumbartonshire is, we understand, Mr. Colquhoun, of Killermont, an ac complished gentlemen, and of sound political principles. Touching the burghs, the representation of this district will be disputed by Mr. Kirkham Finlay, in opposition to Mr. Campbell, of Blythswood. For the Lanark dis trict of burghs, Mr. H. Monteith and his friends have been actively mustering their forces, and that with every expectation of carrying the day against Mr. Gillon, the other candidate.— Glasgow Courier. A new candidate for the representation of the Angus burghs has appeared in the person of Horatio Ross, Esq. of Rossie, the gentleman so celebrated in the sporting cir cles under the name of Captain Ross. Mr. Ross's agent, Mr. John Mackenzie Lindsay, writer to the signet, waited upon all the members of the Town Council of Brechin on Tuesday, with the announcement of his principal's inten tion to solicit the honour of their support in the approaching event of a general election. Mr. Lindsay had previously' paid his respects to the electors in Montrose. Mr. Smith, from London, accompanied by Provost Jamieson of Mon trose, has also paid his respects to the Brechin Town Coun cil, to offer himself as an additional candidate for the repre sentation. The footing upon which Mr. Smith puts himself forward is, that Mr. Hume will be elected for Middle sex ; and, if he should fail there, Mr. Smith pledges himself to resign the Angus burghs in his favour. The election for Middlesex comes on before the Scottish elec tions, and Mr. Smith solicits the boroughs in Mr. Hume 's interest, as an independent member, in opposition to Sir James' Carnegie, only if Mr. Hume be previously re turned. He has not met with a very cordial reception in Brechin.—Dundee Advertiser. Dumax, JULY 3.—Five candidates are in the field for the representation of this City ; the Message of his Majesty to both Houses of Parliament renders it certain that the contest will be put to speedy issue. The parties are Mr. Moore and Mr. Grattan, the present members, Sir J. K. Jamas, Bart. and the Recorder. This learned gentleman has never been mixed up with party politics, and since his accession to the office of Recorder, his dis charge of his functions have given unmixed satisfaction, and evinced talents of no ordinary cast. Young Lefroy has also started. LIVERPOOL, JULY 3.—A meeting of the Mends of Mr. Huskisson is convened for Monday next, to prepare a requisition to the Right Hon. Gentleman to offer him self as a candidate at the next general election. There is some talk of be Whigs intending to invite Mr. Brougham to permit himself to be put in nomination. GRANTHAM.—.-A very flattering Address; signed by sixty inhabitants of this Borough, was forwarded, during the present week, to the Hon. Colonel Cust (brother of Earl Brownlow and Equerry to Prince Leopold), inviting him again to offer himself at the approaching contest, and pledging the parties to every exertion in his came. The reply of the Gallant Colonel was received yesterday, respectfully, but firmly, declining the intended honour.

At noon this day we have received, by Express, the Gazette de France of yesterday, and letters and papers of Sunday evening. A part of the army of Reserve, to the number of ten thousand men, was to set sail from Toulon in a few days, under the command of M. Mow- TESQUIEU. The Gazette de France contains the follow ing telegraphic dispatch : " Sidi Ferruch, June 28, 1830. THE ADMIRAL DUPERRE TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE MINISTER OF MARINE. " The advanced posts of the army are engaged with the enemy, who has fortified his positions before the Castle of the Emperor; the attack of which will be made shortly." An order of the day, promulgated at head-quarters, sets forth that " the troops of the army of the expe dition, on the 14th and 19th, fully realised the expecta tions of the KING, and have already avenged the insult to the French Bag." A private letter from Toulon, dated the 28th ult. speaks thus :—" The bomb vessels sent to Algiers have returned to France, which naturally gives rise to the conclusion that all intention of attacking the city from sea had been ,abandoned. The brig Assas set sail this morning for Sidi-Ferruch, with government despatches, and a million of francs in specie. A portion of the reserve will embark in a few days, and der the command of General de MONTESQUIEU. The addition of 10,000 men will strengthen the African army, and give security to the operations before Algiers, by guarding the road from the camp to the city, by which the ammunition and provisions will be conveyed to the besiegers." A Paris paper—L'Universel—just received, states, there is every reason to believe that the choice of the Allied Powers, in the new Sovereign of Greece, will, at length, be forced upon a Prince of the House of 13zAx. DENEURGII. Don PEDRO'S Speech has been received at the opening of the Session, in which he makes known his marriage. He also states that his daughter has returned, but her cause is not abandoned ; and he is determined not to forfeit his word given to the Assembly, nor to compromise the tranquillity, or the interest of Brazil in the affairs of Portugal. He also adds that he has rati fied a treaty with the King of the Netherlands, and the United States; and congratulates the Legislature on the tranquillity which exists through the empire. Our readers will find the account of the last Quarter's Revenue in the first page of this Paper ; and, on compar ing it with the correspoiding one of last year, they will discover a very considerable diminution, and that prin cipally under the heads of the Excise and Post-office, which have been always looked upon as the criteria of public prosperity. The comparative deficiency under the head of Excise —that branch of Revenue which is chiefly derivable from the luxuries and necessaries of life—is no lees than 1,267,0001. The Revenue from the Customs, under a similar comparison with the same quarter of last year, shews an improvement, which, we confess a priori, we 'should not have expected. On the whole, the account is not so deficient as we should, perhaps, have been led to conjecture; but is 'rite enough dishearten the sanguine. . . . , ..y . !ii: 'lP.:' /l eo ow 1" ••-• . 1 ~ 4 .4. § 1 -‘!L'''si.
