It is with extreme regret that we learn that his Majesty is most serioutly indisposed—since his return from Scotland he has not, we believe, once quitted Carlton Palace, and his spirits are said now to be in a state to render necessary perfect repose.—The Duke of Wellington has arrived at Congress, but he also is labouring under great depression of spirits.— Nothing has transpired as yet respecting the views entertained by the Flaly Alliance. A very numerous meeting of the Livery of Lon don took place on Saturday, at Guildhall, fur the election of Lord Mayor for the year ensuing. The Recorder declared the show of hands to be in fa vour of Mr. Alderman Ileygine and Mr. Alderman Waithman. The Court then retired to select one of those gentlemen, and on their return the Recorder announced the choke to have Wien on the former gentleman. Ca the 18th instant, the Duko of Devonshire visited the city of Cork, on which occasion he was waited upon by a deputation from the corporation, in order to carry into eflict the resolution of pre senting his Grace with the freedom of the city.— The duke subsequently dined at the Mansion-house, and attended the assembly-rooms in the evening.— The duke departed from Cork the next morning, on a visit to the Marques of Thumond, at Rostellan. ECCLESIASTICAL QUARRELS. On Wednesday, the 18th instant, the Right Rev. Lord Bishop of Leighlin and Ferns, and his Vicar General, held a visitation in the church of Carlow, for the purpose of examining into th e charges which had been brought against the Register of the Dioceas. The Register put in an exculpatory affidavit, which was deemed by the Court insufficient to acquit him of die charges, the principal of which was, " having taken the books out of the office, which had been ordered to be restored on this day :" this order not having been complied with, the Register was called upon to account: fur his conduct. Ile stated that the books were in the possessi in of the Crown Solicitor, for the purpose of making searches relative to the living of Carlow. The Bishop asked the Register if he had demanded the books as directed? This question was answered in the negative Ly - the Register, who said, that he would not give up the hooks until compelled by law, as the Court had acted unfairly, and was an unjust tribune." The Bishop cautioned the Register against contempt of Court, but he still persisted in his violent conduct, which obliged the Court to adjourn sine die. So much fur Ecclesiastical Courts which we now thud are itn peached by its own officers ! I)osicsnt TELEGRAPH.--Tiiid is a very superior invention to bells. It is intended to convey orders to serval to, which they call tostantly eaccule without the usual loss of time in going to receive • verbal command. Mr. Pearson, the in vector (a resident at Boston in America), conceived the possi bility of surmounting the difficulties that walls and distance opposed to his success, and of preventing the nece•aity of speech. The master is obeyed as promptly as possible, and the servant, certain of understanding his orders, need not fear the effects of want of memory. Mr. Pearson's telegraph con sists of two dials, divided in the same manlier ; each of the need es is subject to the same movement at the same time, and over the same space. The oommunication of the movement from one needle to the other was the only ditlieolty in ibis me. chanical problem ; this obstacle has been ingeniously sur mounted. One of the dials isplaced in the master's room, and can be made an elegant decoration ; the other in any situation most convenient to servants. Every one of the divisions, which san he multiplied at pleasure, represents an order by an under stood sign or figure ; the master points the needle of his dial to the sign or command he wishes to be obeyed, and that in stant the signet is repeated on the dial G‘eil up for the servant's use. This telegraph is easily coustructed, aud of very trifling expense. The following is a curious example of the alarm of the French Police. respecting thepopulaz mind, and its sensi tiveness to any the.- g like satire or ndicule of aristocracy. The comedy of Joins Pull was announced, .bout a week since, by the English Players in Paris—it was thought too scandalous that profligacy and knavery should be made the characteristic of the rich and great; virtue. honesty, and independence, that of the poor, on the stage; and acconlingly the Prefect of Police ad dressed the following invitation" In the manager : •• ant informed that the piece called Julie Bull, to be represented this evening by the Ei.glish Players under your management, is a gross farce, and might produce had eflectv.— invite you, in consequence, to change the performance, and substitute a less indecent piece.—litceive, bcc. •• Tl a Prefcct of Lidice, "U.

A young lady of great' men tal and immoral attractions, wanbethrothed to a young 111 n of her own rank in life. The day was fixed, and the ring bought that was to unite them. In the interim the lady bad to vi•it a friend at Walsworth, and availed herself of one of the days upon wkich Camberwell fair was held fur that purpose.— The kindness of her friends, and the amusements of the fair, detained her longer than she intended. lint still she was de termined to get to Sydenham, ■rd proceed homewards. She was shortly overtaken by a stout young man, in the working dress of a bricklayer, and it being now dark, she determined to keep up with. The bricklayer addressed her civilly, told her how far be was going, and otTered her hi■ protection, which she accepted. In short the lady arrived safe at house, and the honest layer of bricks and mortar proceeded on his journey. The evening previous to she knot being to be tied between the heroine and her intended husband, w►ile walking together in the fields, perhaps laying down plans for their future comfort and happiness, they were met by a young gen denials unknown to either of them, who acco ted the lady by name, inquired after her health, and hoped clue felt no Hi rt:feels Irons the night damp in walking house from Camberwell fair a few nights ago.—This address greatly emb d the lady, and threw all the thoughts of jealous Othello into the mind of her lover, who abruptly questioned his bride as to her being at the fair witheut Lis knowledge The lady could not deny the fact, but denied ever having seen the stranger; while he persisted that he not only raw her at the fair, but conducted her safe home from it. The green-eyed monster had now got complete possession of the bridegroom ; and after upbraiding the brides infidelity, and threateuing th • stranger with his vengeance, he rushed sway, leaving Ler in the care of the gentleman. The lady'► . c:isiress was really indescrib able. To be suspected of improper conduct could not by an innocent mind be brooked; but to be so by her future huehand, and left by him under the care of a stranger, was beyond suf fering. The stranger, after trying to soothe her mind as much as possible, is reported to have said, " the person who has now left you, madam, is undeserving of your hand, since he doubts your honour. I have seen and loved you for these two years, although my humble rank prevented me the happiness of conversing wish you, until escorting you home from Camber well fair, For you must be pleased to know that I was the gallant bricklayer, as you kindly termed me, when you shook me by the hand on your getting safely to the gate, or that occasion•" The yow; laity bad now a perfect recollection of his voice stud person, although the latter was altered bye dif ferent dress—but still her mind was in the greatest agitation ; and when she was about to speak, lice protector interrupted her, vit6 saying—" Since 1 conveyed you !same from Cain [Amen, my uncle, who was a buiLter, died, nod left me as income of 7001. per annum. I- am besides well acqnniated with his business. You are a- bride now, and were to be married to-morrow. You must ooutinue so fur twodsys longer than was intended this murrung, to enable me to get a licence with my name inserted therein us the bridegroom. On account ' of your character the delay cannot exceed the time I have I mentioned, and I shall not take soy denial. I shall see you home to-night, sod explain myself at large to you and to your mother." MI which was done, and the gallant bricklayer is now the happy husband of an excellesd young lady ; wh le the origins: bridegroom must feel much mortified. bout five o'clock on Thoraday morning (19th inst.) a Hireling took place near the tairripike, on this Cork road, a small distance west of Waterford, between Mr. Barron, of William -street, in that city, and Mr. Charles Eyre, a lieutenant in the lst Royals, quartered there ; the former at tended by Dr. Alrook, the latter by an officer belonging to the same corps. The parties discharged two shots each : in the second lire, Mr. Barron . * ball passed through the fleshy part of Lieutenant Eyre's right thigh, and lodged in his left, fracturing • part of the thigh bone ; but we are happy to leer• the ball was extracted on the spot by Dr. Alcoek, the second of Mr. Barron, and that the wound, though serious, was not considered of a very dangerous nature. On Mr. Eyre's falling, Mr. Bar ron left the ground without making any observation ; arid after the ball had been extracted, Mr. Eyre was carried home to the barrack by • party of hie regiment, on • litter. We under.. stand that the duel originated in the dis:outiuuanc• of some at tentions, on the part of Lieutenant Eyre, to a lady who is a cousin to Mr. Barron. WOIEVES.—On the 9th inst about !seven in the evening, a furious wolf sprang upon a child, lire years of age, near the great rood of Ponderer's, at Si. La , (Deport ment of Ain), Andrew Monier, who was at work with his wife iira Geld adjoining, hearing the cries of the child, ran to his assistance, and found the wolf bad pulled the boy down. A struggle ensued, and the animal having lacerated the child's. head, left Lim, and turned upon Monier. The roan, who was robo,t, was not however able to bring down his ferocious enemy —but during the combat Monier's wife uttered screams, which brought several persons, who made the animal run about four hundred yards, where he wog destroyed by the blow of an iron bar, given by • young man. Monier had the small linger of Isis left bond torn oil. The child had the upper part of his eye dreadfully lacerated. The eye is lost. The day this un fortunate accident happened, several wolves were seen on tlie banks of the Saone, and much mischief was done in the envi rons of Ponderaus. Lord Bolingbroke used to say, that the greatest conapliinent which could be paid to any English gentlemen re turced from his travels, was to say of him `. that - liobody who saw him him could think be had ever been abroad, but that every body who bulked with him would think he was a native of the countries he had visited ;" and there is good sense. though • little exaggerated, in the oliserration. DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday evening last an inquest was held at the sign of the Castle, in Lee's 3lews, Grosveoor-square, before T. Higgs, Esq. coroiter, on the body of George Needle,. line boy, aged eight years, son to poor parents of the sleeve 3lews.

In a few days aterwards the sheet and , a pillow case front the bed were missing, and traced to a pawnbroker's shop, where they were alleged to hater been pawned by the prisoner. Mr. Platt, 'mires curie, suggested for the ennsideratiore of the Bench, that the inJictistent was defective, for stating that the lodgings bad been let to the priumerend her husband. Itt point of law, the contract could only have been made with the husband alone. if the indict mmt had charged that the lodgings were let to the hi*. hand for the use of the prisoner and himtelf, it might hate been sufficient ; but, as at present franked, it was defective.
