He arrived from Padua on the 16th. All at present is gay and, theatrical at Verona, although neither of the Empe rors has yet visited the Opera; and as to the Emperor of RUSSIA, he derives no enjoyment whatever from scenic representations, and scarcely ever goes to see them in any country. Indeed, it is said that his bi iitILIAL MAJESTY takes pleasure in nothing but in the tuost intense application to state affairs. Ile remains in his cabinet during the greater part of the day, writing, reading over official documents, or consult ing with his Ministers. The Ex - -Empress MARIA LOUISA is at Verona, and appeared on the 16th in one of the boxes of the Opera, attired in a simple but interesting manner. On her head she wore a plain round cap of Brussels lace, tied under the thin with a pink &bon; and her robe was of homely Scotch tartan, made in the fashion of the country. She dis played neither pearls nor diamonds, and there was no adventitious circumstance of dress to distinguish her from any female in a comparatively humble sphere of life. Her countenance very much resembles the portraits of her that are published in London, and to the ordinary observer would appear both pleasing and intelligent, but wears an air of peculiar dejection. The police ire scouring the town of all visitors who cannot shew satisfactory grounds fer their application to remain in it ; and the Duke of WELLINGTON. is constantly importuned by Englishmen, desiring to be protected from summary mandates of removal.— General NIACAULEY, who has served for a long time in India, and who is now the active coadjutor of Mr. ALLEN in his efforts to get the Slave Trade com pletely abolished, r eceived from the police an order to attend immediately, and on doing so, he was com manded to quit the town within twenty-four hours, though he had in his pocket their own ticket of leave for a month. In consequence of this, he applied at once to the Duke of WELLINGTON, who with some cifficulty obtained permission for him to remain for a lew days longer. No idea can be formed of the o: deal to which strangers are subjected before they Are alleftd to sojourn at Verona. With the tourist for pleasure, however, the business is very brief:— " What brings you here, Sir ?" interrogates the Commissary of Police. " 1 have come here for plea -397e," is the reply. " Then it is not our pleasure that you should remain here for pleasu're s " is the laconic ceeision. Mr. ALLAN, the philanthrophitt, is here urging the cause of Africa, with all his might. He regularly appears before the Sovereigns with his hat on, and they as regularly admit him in the character of a privileged friend. The opening conference, it is said, referred to the subject of the Slave Trade; and ie Mini s ter s have trice been occasionally engaged in reading over various documents connected with it. The more inaportant business of the Congress would cot commence till the 22d. A day-labourer at Soderkoping, in Sweden, in a fit of passion, struck his lunatic step-daughter witla' j an ass: the blow was not mortal, but the girl fell' into a state of insensibility: when she had recovered, after some time had eripsed, ir appeared tkat her un cLustimili Ps w-as restored. 2'o THE. EDITOR OP THE STAR. • Spt—Ji was highly gratifying to me to observe in your Pape r his Maj esty's intention to institute a Nit tional Museum. Some years ago you inserted a proposal, which I sent you, to raise a public subscrip tion for that purpose. I proposed that every artist of eminence in this country should present the Collec tion with the most splendid specimen of his art. A sum of money always in the hands of the Committee would tempt the proprietors of pictures, at home and abroad, to dispose of some of their most valuable pieces. A trifling sum paid for admission would pay the expenses of the house. Had his Majesty's taste and munificence been pre valent in the last reign, this country would now have, to boast the richest Museum in the world. The Houghton Collection, which was miserably suffered to go to Russia, would have laid the foundation of it. And had not the cold policy of the Administra tion in 1796, refused the provisional sum of a poor £20,000 to some Members of the Dilettanti Society, then in Italy, the Farnese Hercules, the Apollo Bel videre, and the Venus de Medici:, would have been purchased and brought to England. I scruple not to assert that ten times the sum would have been a very low price for those invaluable treasures. But what can be yet done. I trust will be done by a ge neral wish to second the laudable and patriotic view; of his Majesty. A COUNTRY CLERGYMAN. BARON LAS CASAS. The admirers of that redoubtable hero, the little Baron LAS CASAS, will rejoice to learn that he has got out of harm's way for the present, having arrived safe and sound at Rouen on the 28th ult. By the rapidity of the young Gentleman's movements, we suspect that, when he insulted Sir HUDSON Lowe, he had his passport in his pocket and a postchaise at the end of the street ready to take him to the coast. His courage, which so nearly failed him that morning, revived on his-getting out of danger; this is natural enough—" Courage," says Bob Acres, " will some and go." The Constitutionnel gives the following letter which the Baron is said to have sent to Sir HUDSON Lowe previous to his departure from England : " Sta—After the altercation which took place between us on Tuesday morning in front of your house, and at the conclu sion of which I confess that I iroilted you in the grossest man ner, I expected that you would send me. a message. Finding, however, that none arrived, notwithstanding the time which has elapird, I return to France. I think that, as I have made a journey to London, you may well make one to Paris or Ostend, or to any other quarter of France or Belgium, which may be convenient to you, where I shall be alraats ready to meet you. (Signed) " EM. LAS CASAS." MR. BOIVRING. Letters from Boulogne of Tuesday last state, that . Mr. &wawa was still in confinement there. He had undergone an examination of five hours in dura tion by the Procureur du Roi, when the letters, of\ which he was the bearer, were exhij)ited to him, the seals bract), and the contents, notwithstanding his objecting, read in his presence. The contents of the letters were not sufficient to justify his detention, not being of an offensive tendency. The examinations were strictly private, Mr. Bo*nr NG not being allowed the assistance of a legal adviser, or even an interpre ter. The interference of the British Consul to obtain those objects was of no avail. Further examinations of him are expected, but no charge having been made, it is impossible to anticipate what effect the French Government expect to produce. Mr. Bow saw is obliged to pay at an exosbitant rate for the few comforts he can enjoy. • Among the papers sei-zed by the French police at the time Mr. Bosvnfivo was arrested, allusion has often been made to some dispatches belonging to the Portuguese Embassy, of which that Gentlemap,w-ak , the bearer. These dispatches, with the contents of which Mr. BOWRING was altogether unacquainted, together with the rest of his papers, were sent up to Paris; and we-now understand that, notwithstanding the immediate and reiterated applications of the Por tuguese Ambassador on the spot to M. DE VJLLELE, to which no answer was given, they we, e opened in the meantime by M. PEYRONNET. At the expiration of about a fortnight, as we learn by private letters from rads, the dispatches were forwarded by the ‘French Government to their of iginal destination, with broken seals. To the astonishment of the French Minister, instead, however, of expected treasonable plots and conspiracies, he found only in the package an outline of the proceedings of the Club of the Pa villon :Nana", the head-quarters of the Ultra French party, with M. PSYRONNET at their head, the most decided organ and active engine of them all. A Correspondent, who signs his letter u A Caledo nian," calls our attention tothe gross violation of the Sabbath in the MetropOlis, lxy butchers in several of the markets keeping their• shops open during Divine , Service—the baiting of bulls in the environs of Lon don is anothervice of which he complains , and he contrasts the solemn observance of the Sabbath in Scotland, which particularly attracted the notice of his MAszary, with the wanton violation of it in Lon don and its immediate vicinity. Tuesday morning an occurrence of an awful descrip tion happened at Clifton. To repair a pump over a deep well, which had not been used f•r 4.0 years, be hind a house near the church, several persons, in cluding the master of the house, assembled, when one of them placing his hand on the stone ,trough connected with the pump, the ground gave way, and he was precipitated a depth of 100 feet, together with the trough, the pump, and a mass of stones and rubbish. Two others would have shared the same fate, but in falling, saved themselves by laying hold on some things near; one of them being left suspended to a stay-nail, of which he had the presence of mind', to avail himself. On ropes being provided ) the ques tion was who should go down to bring up the poor fellow whq had fall in in. Two volunteered, and had, the ropes affixed to their bodie., when they suggested' the propriety of first ascertaining the state of the at mosphere in the well. A lighted candle being let down, it had scarcely descended 20 feet before it was extinguished by the foul air, which would Idler tainly have extinguished the spark of life, had the first intention of these humane ♦olunteers been car , ried into effect. When at last the body of the man was brought up, which was effected by a grappling iron, his head was found completely open, and the brains displaced. The poor fellow was abcfut twenty ' years of age, and a servant at the house. • SPORTiNG INTEL4WENCE. • - N C EWMARTIRT TIIIRD OCTOBER OR BOUGFiTOS . . . MUTING, 11121: IPUILLY, IMVII7IIII 1.

The mare was to allow the horse a distance, and beat him: Before starting two to one in favour f the horse. During the first and second round the mare was getting away in fine style from the horse, and seemed likely to double distance hitn. Betting ten to one in favour of the mere. On entering upon the third round. the mare bolted opposite the stand, when the horse came op close to her—fifty to one in favour of the horse—but getting again upon the Course, the mare went off in such style, that she beat the h. r e by a distance of 200 yards. There was considerable betting on this thatch. DURHAM ANNUAL lIUNT RACES andG M /"JAST ICS At the Revel, were very numerously attended on.

Mszrucaotr Aociormr.--Yeaterday an Inquest was held at the Princess of Wales, Charlotte-street, Brompton, on the bodies of Gabaur Satsuma, Tuottas Hamel, and JoirN Lewis.

The other two were taken out dead.—Verdict, i' Accidentally suffocated."—A fourth, and dm laat anan who entae4pwaa takes t alive, and has recovered. , A COURT OF CHANCERY...THIS DAT, LORD AND LADY I►diIIIIIIOUTH. The chief points of discussion in this cause were ordered to stand over until Tuesday, in order that an affidavit by Dr. Rankbead and Mr. France might be read by the Lord chancellor. Mr. HIALD stmngly denied the report in the daily Papers, Of the transactions said to have taken place in the month of October last, at Hitstborne, when he was met by an answer that, if Lady Portsmouth was not there she was at Whitchtirch, a mile distant. The question to be adjusted was described as one of the very highest importance; it was intimated that a Commission should go down to investigate the situation of his Lordship, and that Dr. Bankhead would be one. 2LOPRMENTe This morning the LORD CHANCIELLOR, immediately on coming into Court, said he had.read the affidavits which had been delivered to him yesterday, in the case of Mr. Bennett (of which we gave an account), and " undoubtedly,` said his Lordship, " this Gentle. man has beer. guilty of a contempt of this Cciurt.—. Upon reading these affidavits, which I have done with great care and attention, it strikes me that this is a case in which the party is more excusable tharsb perhaes, any other of the kind I ever saw. If the objection which now occurs had been known at first, that there had been no marriage in this country, it should hate been earlier stated—but now it will be necessary to inquire into the ground of that objec tion: but the affidavits state that a multiage has been had in France. The fir* thing then to be done should be, that the Master inquire forthwith, whether there has been actually a valid marriage or not ? and then let the rest of the matter stand over un:il the Mas ter shall have made his report upon that fact." Mr. HART, on behalf of the Lidy's guardians, said they would. submit to' any order which it was the pleasure of the Court to make. They had no doubt of the marriage having taken place in France, at the same time they thought that the better way would be, that the Master should report upon the va lidity or invalidity of the marriage, in order that, if the latter, a marriage should be regularly had in England The Loa° CHANCELLOR said, that the Master's consideration should be had on both points, and the question would be, finally, for the Court to dispose of, at present there was some difficulty attending it. Mr. HART did not see by what criterion the Mas ter could adequately judge of the validity of the marriage in France, for that must be, according to French law, a legal binding marriage—a point which both parties ought to look into. The Loan CHANCELLOR.—" And after that point is settled, then will come the question of settlement to be made on such marriage; and there can be no objection that uropositions on that point be laid, oa both sides, berwte the Master. The ATTORN€Y-GENERAL said, that was very much the wish of all parties. The LORD Cnascettort.—g , If ever there could be a case in which the Court should not visit the party who has been guilty of a contempt, this would be that case, and in which the Court would be willing to pass it over. It appears by the affidavits, as I have no doubt the fact is, that this is a very respectable young Gentleman ; but as to matter of character, however excellent it may be, I cannot permit a con tempt of Court to take place and pass it over, on ac count of its being stated that the Gentleman wh• has been guilty of it is a person of `respectable character, for that is nut a legitimate course for the Cow t to take: at the same time, I feel for this young Gentleman, who seems to have been led on from step to step, vntil he could hardly avoid doing what he has done." The ATTORNEY•GENERAL said it appeared by the affidavits that there was no improper intention enter tained by any of the parties in this case. The LORD CHANCELLOR directed the case to go to the Master, and reserved the further consideration of it till after the Report. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT—FRIDAY. The Rev. Richard Bingham, Clerk, late of Gosport, in the county of Southampton, No. 2, Duke -street, Portland-place, anti Ilale Magna, in the county of Lincoln, appeared to claim his discharge. The debts contained in his schedule exceeded the sum of Seventy Thousand Pouseds. From the number of opposing creditors, the case was referred to the officer of the Court. __ Henry Putheridge was opposed by Mr. HEATH on die behalf of Messrs. Cook and Co. The in• °law was a complete non mi ricordo.— Through a very leng examination be could recollect nothing—when he was arrested, when his stock in trade was seized, or when he transferred his business to his brother, although he had made'nut his balance sheet from memory. He did not recollect what goods he had of Messrs. Cook, or where the bills of parcels were of the various goods he had bought. At length be was asked where he got the correct accounts of his creditors' debts inserted in his schedule ? and, after considerable hesitation, he admitted that he must have been assisted by the bills of parcels. Remanded till the 18th instant. HORRIBLE DrIURDER !—Stockhoisn, October 11— The daughter of Field-Marshal Adlercreutz, oho performed great services to his country in 1809, has been murdered by her female attendant, a woman 69 years old, at the seat of her mother (who is a v idoa), near the capital. The unhappy mother had gone to pay a visit to her Royal Highness the Prin cess, at Tulgarn. The attendant, who slept in the same room with the young Lady, seized the child by the hair, in the night, and cut her throat. This had scarcely passed, when the governess entered the cham ber, on v hich _the murderess gave herself several stabs in the neck, none bf which were mortal. The motives fur her horrid deed have not transpired. FORTY-POUR PECIPLE ROBBED !—The Drogheda Journal says—" On the return home of several from the Fair, a gang of villains, armed with blunder- , busses, pistols, and bludgeons, attacked all they met, to the number of forty-tour, near linathsto!.vn, in tie county of Meath, and plundered them of the fruits of their day's industry I The miscreants maltreated many of their victims.
