THE QUEEN OF PORTUGAL. Ou the arrival of the young Queen of Portugal England, in 1828, the Poriuguese then resident in ,thii country held several nteetiop at the City of London Tavern, for the purpose of testifying their awachn.ent to their lawful sovereign, and the :iberal institutions of their country ; in which it was. Tf!...OIVCII on raising a subscription amongst them ia!iree • with a view of presenting her Majesty 1)oona Maria 11. with a gold sceptre, ands copy of the Portuguese constitution, specially printed in *is country in a splendid manner. Her Majesty, however, left for the lira:Us, without receiving these testimonials - of the loyalty of her subjects ; but having returned to Europe, she appointed Monday last to receive them , at half-past five o'clock. A oOnsiderfble number of Portuguese gentlemen met at the Clarendon Hotel for this pat pose, beaded by Messrs. Josi Vanzeller, Alno.ida Garrete, and Freire Marreco (members of the committee appointed to carry their resolutions into execution), and were introduced to the pre s.unce of her Majesty, who 9, with her father, the - . - _ . Dokt t of Braganza, the officers of the household, and several of the nobility, received the in a most gracious manner. Mr. Freire Marreco, the secretai y of the committee, delivered a loyal and congratulatory address to her Majesty, to which her Majesty was .pleased to return the following liimitgraClOall anewer : " 1 thank you most cordially for the presenta tion you have just made me, of the sceptre and more particularly of the copy of the constitutional charter, which my august and beloved father gave to the Portuguese nation, and which it is my duty ta maintan for the happiness of the nation, as I Lope and most anxiously desire." The sceptre (a splendid piece of workmanship, i.mde by Messrs. Storr and Mortimer, of Bond- street), is of pure gold, with several emblems ap propriate to the occasion, and has,, on the upper part, the Portuguese arms, resting on the Consti- tutioaal Charter. The Constitutional Charter (printed on large •ellum paper, by C. Whiftingham, of Chiswick, ith the best types of the splendid founderies of Messrs. Caslon and Fry) was bound in green silk velvet, with the arms of Portugal on one side, and the initials of the Queen (M. II.) on the other, superbly embroidered in gold. The Address was printed on white satin, edged with gold lace, by Whiting, of Beaufort -buildings. The fourth corps commanded by Count Gerard, I was in the environs of Mets ; it consisted of 14,792 men, and 38 pieces of cannon. On the I.sth of June, the right, commanded by Couut Gerard, surprised the bridge of Chatelet, early in the morning. Count Gerard approached the Em peror to demand some instructions for attacking the village of Ligny. The village of Ligny was taken and retaken four times. Count Gerard co vered himself with glory, and shewed as much in trepidity as talent—Count Gerard supported the movement of General Pecheux. All the reserves of the Prussians were overthrown a la bayonette, the centre of their line was forced, forty pieces of cannon, eight standards, and many prisoners, were the trophies of that day. The Emperor, satisfied with the conduct of General Gerard, commandant of the fourth corps, destined to him the baton of marshal of the em pire ; he considered him as one of the hopes of France. On the inexcusable delay of Groucby, General Gerard said to him, " Your orders were, to be yesterday at Wavres, and not to-day ; the most sate is to go to the field of battle. You cannot disiimulate that Blucher has gained a march on you ; he was yesterday at Wavres, and you at Glemboun, and who knows now where he ii. If he is re-united to Wellington, we shall find him on the field of battle, and then your order is executed to the letter 1 If he is not, our arrival will decide the battle, In two tours we may take part of. the fire, and if we destroy the English army, that will deliver to us Blucher, already beaten !" The 18th, Marshal Grouchy attacked Weems et six o'clock in the evening. Count Ge rard, ,ikt the head of the fourth corps, forced the passage of the Byte. Count Gerard was grievously wounded at the attack of Wavres, a ball traversed the breait of him, but happily his wound was not mortal.-:- O'Meara's Memoirs. TU_ Mier the other business of the House was dis posed of, the LORD CHANCELLOR left the wool sack, and at very considerable length gave his opinion on this fortunately singular case ; for that of incestuous adultery nes one of rare occurrence in the minutes of the house. He then stated the necessity of their lordships at all times being par ticUlarly cautious, in cases of this nature, of guard ing against collusion between the parties, but if sects a caution was necessary in the case of a bus baud, how much more so was it in that of a wife ? He then went into the details of the case as they have been given before in evidence. He dwelt on the delicate and pitiful situation in which Mrs. Torten was placed on discovering the attachment between her husband and younger sister,—the feelings which had actuated her to prevent the ex-'l leisure of her sister, and the blow which would be inflicted on their sickly parent by inch an expo sure. He followed them to India, and commented on the evidence so far as it related to the sister's accompanying them. The sister having left her father,—the surprise and pain Nlrs. Turton felt on finding she was to be of the party,—the promise, if allowed to accompany her,—the performance of that promise nliil4t on board the Ihip,—the deep felt grief discovered unintentionally when taken by surprise by those who visited her in India, and the apparent cheerfulness at other times,—were proofs of the struggle she was making against her feelings. Her return from India so soon as circum stances would allow,—her unimpeachable and cor rect conduct since their separation,—showed that however she might have been wanting under the circumstances of firmness of mind, in no part of the occurrences had she been shown a consenting, party. There was en error in judgment, and a want of sufficient firmness on a very trying occa sion. For this • she had atoned in a most ample manner, by the ordeal she bad been compelled to pass through in the course. of this tvestigation.. tinder these circumstances, he was sipclined to 'recommend the second reading of the bill: Lord Mutsu nate followed ; the noble , lord, , agreeing with him in opinion en the geaerskues tion. He.dwelt most feeliuglynn the, painful si tuation iu whicb.Mrs. Tu)pn had,. been placed, combined with. the motive Which: actuated. her in ender:lnuring.* save front :public shame Abe con- il LL. duct of her sister. He also slightly touched on the evidence, commenting on those particulor parlerf it relating to the voyage, and conduct ip India. and on that of remaining tliere after the discovery of her sister's situation. She could not get away from India without the asaisbawAS of friends. Ships sailed only at particular periods, pod the severe ill ness of Mrs. Turton were causes of delay. From her departure to the present moment all intercourse had ceased between them, and since her return she had been living with .her father. Her conduct in England appeared unexceptionable. After some further observation., he declared his opinion to be in favour of the second reading of the bill. Bill read a second time. MR. GREEN'S BALLOON ASCENT FROM VAUXHALL GARDENS. This intrepid aeronaut made from these Gardens, on Monday night last, the finest ascent, perhaps, ever seen in the metropolis. The inflation of this powerful machine commenced at seven o'clock on that morning, and was completely filled about the same hour at night. From half-past nine to ten o'clock, the balloon was exhibited to the company, in the midst of red and blue fires, which imparted an additional grandeur to the scene, as it rocked about in the large space in front of the gallery. At ten o'clock Mr. Green, accompanied by his eon, gave the signal, and the balloon being left to his entire controul, ascended most majestically almost close to the heads of the visitors in the gallery. The night was perfectly calm, not the slightest breeze being felt near the earth, consequently the machine ascended comparatively slow. Soon as he had cleared the trees and buildings, he discharged some fire-works, which completely illumined the balloon for a considerable time. It went in a north-west direction over Vauxhall Bridge, and in a few minutes encountered a different current of air, bringing them near to, and affording a com plete view of the Gar.lens, which they describe as strikingly effective, the illuminations, the orchestra, &c. being quite perceptible. At intervals, Mr. Green amused himself by lighting large bodies of red and white fire, which were not only seen from the west end of the town, but caused multitudes to assemble at Islington, Highgate, &c. About half past eleven they dropped near the earth for the purpose of ascertaining where they were, the mists under them being so dense at this time as to pre vent their knowing their situation, and the earth appearing as one wide sea. A large concourse of person* had assembled, and the balloon was so near them es to enable Mr. Green to converse familiarly with many, and be was informed that he was at Battersea Rise. He was entreated to deacon& there, and promised all assistance; but his ballooa having many times been injured by the intense cu riosity of so great a number, he was fearful; and, throwing out some ballast, again ascended to a great height. In half an hour after he threw out his grappling irons when about 200 feet from the earth, and immediately illuminated the atmosphere with red fire, which quickly brought persona to his assistance ; they led the balloon gently to the earth, and Mr. Green and his son stepped out of their car without the least difficulty. They found themselves in a garden at 'Parson's-green, Fulham, and re ceived much polite attention from the proprietor, Mr. Fitch. Both the aeronauts, with their bal loon, arrived at Vauxhall-gardens at half-past two o'clock, before many of the company who wit nessed the ascent bad departed. They crossed and ,Tscrossed the Thames three times, having encoun tered several different currents of air. THE PLAGUE. When I was in Turkey, some three or four years bad passed since this sad case of plague, and the infant of Madame W— bad survived, and 'grown to a lovely little girl, who was often my pet companion. But not only did the child who was sleeping on her mother's bosom, and my friend Z—, who received her mother's dying breath, escape the drsadfnl contagion, but all those rela tives and friends who had been with Madame W—, and in close contact with her, when of a certainty she had the plague upon her, were equally exempt from the contagion. This was in every way a striking case : it was held by many who had no pretensions to medical science, as a proof of non-contagion of the plague, and strongly assumed as such by a scientific man, the late Dr. M'Lean, who devoted much of his time, and finally lost his life, in endeavours to as certain the real nature of this destructive and most mysterious disorder. But Doctor M'Lean was guilty of an important omission, for in writing an account of Madame W—'s case, he'never men firmed that a Greek servant girl, some weeks after, caught the plague in the chamber in which she had died, and followed her mistress to the grave. Mr. Madden, who was at Constantinople at the time, and acquainted with the family, and who has men tioned the case iu his book of Travels, says, " that several weeks after Madame W—'s death, when two servants were sent to open the apartment, which had been closed, and to remove the bedding, one of them, immediately on entering, complained of the closeness of the chamber ; the next day she had the plague, and died .in some few days ; but Mr. W—, the husband of the unfortunate lady, added to me, in reference to the Greek girl, that, fatigued by the labours she had undergone in open ing and purifying the house, and oppressed by the heat of the day, she had thrown herself down and reposed some time on the mattress on which her I mistress had expired. In cases like these every accompanying circumstance, every detail, however minute, should be noted and given ; and the addi tional fact stated by Mr. W-- will not perhaps be considered unimportant. The result of my inquiries into the histoty of , the plague at Constantinople and elsewhere, would certainly go generally Co confirm the remarks with which Mr. Madden closes the case of Madame W—. " This is one of the many proofs (he alludes, of course, to Mr. Z—, her father), I have had of the influence of the mind over this disease. In no other complaint is this influence so marked. The man who is apprehensive of con tagion is always the .first to take this disease; fear is the predisposing cause of plague ;• bad liv- ing and bodily debility are the proximate causes of the susceptibility of pestilence. I have always observed those who were most deeply interested in the patient's fate—his father, mother, or wife, and who were constantly by his bedside—were seldom attacked, while the servants and strangers who , entered.the Toom now and then, were generally in fected." Yet after this assertion of the prevalissa of mind and &faction, Mr. Madden is tidied to subjoin that he has known many Tuthill itemmain Constantinople Igbich have been shut up after tioathef every inimiihmil within *sir walls; I *leo, his been peiselid;ort,tp gaiUtilleriat 1 as at the capital; 1110 1 hare nits 4, thit Illtmes that had been eo illenkekivere. 0 1 1 without an exception, dm Itpdees of Turks, take no precautions agiiiist ths f idegue► and hardly be said t o b e p ossess ed the predispodnil cause of fear.—New Montiga(Magazlne• TIIUNDA STORMS. - We do not recollect, for many years, so many *rile thunder AMU as have occurred during the .reeent summer. Scarcely a week has elapsed for some time past in which We have not bad to announce their ravages —and we have again to notice several that have occurred since our last. On Saturday last, the town and neighbourhood of Keightey was visited by one of the most dread-,1 ful storms of thunder, lightning, and rain, swirl remembered since July, 1781. The dasher of lightning were remarkably vivid and awful ; the peals of thunder resembled the report of heavy artillery, and the rain, which poured down for four successive hours, flooded almost every street, lane, and alley in and about the town. At a place caned Brumfot, three miles from the town. a fine cow was struck by the lightning and killed on the spot. For several hours on Sunday afternoon, the thunder was heard at York, rolling at a dis tance. At one time a very dark cloud mood over the city, bat the electric matter was ex hausted before it leached us. In tbe West- Riding, however, the storm raged with greet violence. ------- At Tadcaster, the thunder, lightning, and rain, were of the most awful description. Many of the houses were overflowed. The residence of Mr. Wombwell, of Osapton, niter 011erton„ was struck by lightnings, and se riously damaged. The servant boy was also struck and much injured ; but he is in a favourable way of recovery. The Church of Scrooby, near Bawtry, was struck by lightning, and the spire much injured. A cow was killed by the lightning, in a field near Howden Park, the property of Mr. John Har greaves of Kildwick. A horse was killed by the lightning, near Denholine Gate ; and the lightning entered the house of George Robinson, of Stanbury, =tares worth, and melted a smoothing iron and a pair of scissors. At Bradford the thunder was also accompanied with a tremendous fall of rain, the consequence of truel...the destructiosof a eonsiderableimm tity of property in George-street. From fifteen to twenty families were deprived of their aft from the flood coming so suddenly upon them : they had no time to save any thing but their lives and the lives of their children. At Wetharby the shwa commenced a little after two o'clock in the.afterpoon ' and continued a full hour without in the least abating its violence ; and we are told that the oldest inhabitant never wit nessed any thing like it before. It was accompa nied with very large hail stones, which did great damage to the corn crops, particularly to the beans, the raitialso fell in torrents. Although the town is situated open or *miasma, JOWLS of the streets wets flooded with water, for • foot .aad a half in depth for a considerable time ; a young boy of the name of Wiggini l ,whilst tenting his father's horse in the lane near to the town, was struck withlight , ning which *as . most vivid ; had not some boys been near him at the time, and heard hied-lee, be must have died, u they found him in the ditch, and the water running over him. " He is con sidered out of danger, although the accident was attended with a locked jaw. There were several trees shivered to pieces in the neighbour hood. - - - - - - PANORAMA OP THE BRITISH , EMPIRE. YORKSHIRE GAZETTE, JuL:ll. • The hon. W. 11: Laser.lles, C.

TM committee appointed by the association of calico phases, to barbs into the rate of wages paid by the trade, fa thlsgmenteybstia deadand and Ireland, havir , theft Mem vapost as fellows: The attention of the assess cos first directed to tsar. trio the rate of wages paid he the faimediate neighbourhood of Manchester, by what are tanned the" irregular shop,' of which these appears to be from sixteen to twenty in num. her. Without vouching for the numerical accuracy of rho =the committee are, nevertheless, of o pi n i on. inhumation they have derived from various sources, that the aggregate amount of the Tables employed by three establishments, cannot be less than 12 to 14,00, consisting of men, women, aid boys, sod working at priers varying from 25 to 50 per cent. below the printed list of the mood. • The wages of tolerable hands being from 25 to 30 per _ma. below the regular prices--of the old and i n f er i or beads from 30 to 50, and the women and boys at various rates according to their standard and ability.✓ _ The rate of jour n eyman's wages in Scotland, may be Mated, Remaly, at from 40 to 50 per cent. below the prices paid by the association here—but, it appears that rough work is done by wo men , w h o are laid only one-third the wages of journeymen for the same descrtption of work. Thus, a printer In Scotland is paid 7d. and a woman net more than 20. foe the same work which In England, at the prices of the associatioa e costs one Maw Theme of wages in Leland, as far m the Committee hen yet been able to soceatain it, Is still lower than in Scotland; much week, and in mime Amp • nearly all the work. Wing done by maim and boyM to the almost total exclusion of regular j • and so for from the trade in that sonatry having of yam declined, though the number et small shops has dhairdshed, yet th e principal Goes have increased in ma mba& in a fourfold and are become most formidable opponents to u' in a large branch of the export trade. This meeting is unanimously of opinion, that the rats of wages now paid by the members of the association can no longer be maintained • it appearing from the report of the committee that, not only in Ireland and Scotland. but even in the immediate neighbourhood of Manchester, the price for block printing paid by various houses giving employ. meat to near fifteen hundred tables, are less than those of the smocked= by twe.nty.five to fifty per cent; thus establish ing a ruinous competition with the latter, which an me loom be endured. That the scale and system of prices proposed by the cm. mittae be adopted t that copies of the same he delivered to the journeymen at each establishment In the association on Saturday, the 18th of June, with notice that, from and aftr the let of July next, those prices alone will be paid. That notice also be given, that from the sense date the rules and regulations of the apprentices, and journeymen respecting apprentices, shall be abolished. The unjust and exorbitant admission fee of seven guineas for each appro. tics; the limitation of their bouts of labour, when journey. men have not full employment ; aid the restrictions on the nature of their work and the size of their blocks, being alike Injurious to the interests of both master and workmen.
