THE COURT. On Friday last, at half past twelve o'clock, his M a jesty held a Court at his Palace, in Pall-mall, which was numerously attended. The King after. wards held a Chapter of the most noble Older of the Garter. After the King and the Knights and Officers of the Order had proceeded into the Chapter Room with the usual ceremonies, and had taken their res pective seats and places to form the Chapter, the Bishop of Salisbury, the Chancellor of the Order, signified the Sovereign's command for filling the va cant stall in the Royal Chapel of St. George, Wind sor, vacant by the decease of the late Marquess of Londonderry: The Chancellor then proceeded to collect the suffrages from the Knights assembled, and then presented them to the Sovereign, when the Chancellor, by eomtnand of the King, declared the most noble the Marquis of Hertford to be duly elected. The Marquis of Anglesea and Earl Bathurst, the two junior Knights present, then introduced the Marquis of Hertford with the usual ceremony, and hie Majesty conferred the honour of the Order in the , useal' firms in putting on the Garter. The Chancellor of the Order then pronounced the usual admonitions to the Marquis upo,n his election; After the Chapter, Mirsa Mahounned Saleh, the Persian ambassador, was introduced to his Majesty by the Right Honourable George Canning, hie Ma jesty's principal Secretary of State for bltritign Af fairs. The King held a Privy Council upon• state busi ness, after which the Recorder of London was introduced to his Majesty in Council, and made his report of the convicts capitally convicted at Justice hall, in the Old Bailey, at tholes' September and October sessions. The Court closed at half-past six o'clock. THE EIEPE Rens.—Whilethe Emperor of Austria was passing through the Tyrol, an incident occurred which proves that, in one respect at least, he is-ca pable of achieving more. than !!:.i puissant brother of the North, whenever they both aim at the. same object. The practice of firing at a mark is• a na tionul amusement among the Tyrolese, and.some military officers at Inspruck gut up a fete of this description in honour of their Sovereign. A target, painted with-eircular lines of black and white, was provided fur the purpose; and a great concourse of spectators being assembled, several officers entered the lists as•marksinen. Many of them distinguished themselves as good shots, and others were less suc cessful. The Emperor of Russia was much pleased with the amusements, and resolved to try whether he bad not a keener eye and more steady hand than any of those who had already made their essay.— Never was any attempt more luckless—never was chagrin more visible. His Imperial Majesty fired several shots, but wihout once touching the target; and at last, to use a homely phraze, he gave it up as a bad job, evidently embarrassed at having eome uff, with so little eclat. The Emperor Francis, tempted by the example of his august ally, next stood forth to wake a trial. His success was complete. LIU; first shot struck within an inch of the inner circle his second within less than half an inch—and at the third shut he lodged his ball in the very centre of the mark. William Tell, who deprived his Impe rial ancestor of Swaserland, could not have dune more. The Empress on being informed of the ex ploit, could not restrain her conjugal emotion. — Flying to his Imperial Majesty, she twined her arms round his neck, and kissed him several times, while he in vain endeavoured, by a gentle movement of his hand, to repel her ardent embraces, at the same time chiding his illustrious consort for thus giving way to her feelings " Nay, don't do so !" he cried, .‘ there is nothing to cause it. What I have done any person here may do twenty times a day." AN AWKWARD MISTAKILAN affair of an ex traordinary nature occurred a few days back in the county of 'Wicklow, which is likely to furnish matter for discussion in one of the Irish Law Courts. The parties are exceedingly respectable, and the occur rence has plunged two families . in inexpressible affliction. Two marriages took place—the two brides were escorted by their admiring grooms on the wedding-day to a hotel not far from Dublin ; they dined, took tea, supped, and then the ladies retired. The gentlemen tnifiatunately sacrificed a little us) freely to the jolly God, and on retiring to bed, each entered the wrong apartment !—(ly. To wkat god had the ladies been sacrificing that they d:d not perceive the mistake ? Within these last few years, a most astonishing increase has taken place in the intercourse between Glasgow and Paisley. There are now no less than nine conveyances daily between the two places, all of which return to Paisley the same day. They run at reduced prices, and the number of passengers has increased considerably sirw2 the reduction tuck place. 4 THE NATION, REGISTER NEW SOUTH WALES. Gazelles from Hobart's Town to the 30th of June have been received at the New England Coffee house. They furnish little of importance, beyond the direct and striking evidence they contain of the improvement of that colony, particularly in the manufacture, growth, or discovery of the articles' most essential to its own wants, and for which. the colony has been. principally indebted to Europe.— Among them may be mentioned coarse cloth, glue, parchment, and leather; printers' ink, mill -stones, equal in every respect to the French burrs, tobacco, beer, hops, &c.; coals and slate are also found, with timber fit for ship-building, and other valuable pur poses: Free settlers continued to arrive, and were composed generally of persons in a mere respectable rank in life. The number of persons arriving in• Van Diemen's Land, for the 12 months preceding, who at their departure from England had received grants of land, consisted of 500, of whom one-third were accompanied by their families, and had also brought out servants. The following account of the state of New Zealand, and the missions there, is extracted from the Siditeg Gazelle of May 34 By the Iteodlarki a letter has been received from the Rev. Mr. Williams, of the London Missionary Society, stating the safe arrival of the brig Queen Charlolle. Captain Henry, at the Bay of Islandts, on her way to the Society Islands. The reverend gen tleman says, , that the vessel narrowly escaped being cut off at the North Cape; the natiees in-that vici nity being very unfriendly and 'barbarous By another channel we learn, that missionary efforts are rendered fruitless, and suspended?'" tempore, owing to the-state of confusion- and warfare into which the whole island by this time may be plunged. Shun ghee, that aspiring and enlightened chief, who has lately returned. from England, dreams- and talks of nothing less than the total subjugation of the whole island to his sway. All his views are directed to that one object ; and he has actually issued a man dato to some of the gentlemen of the Missionary body, prohibiting their departure from. the present place of residence on pain of the consequences, being determined to class the friend with the foe who shall dare to impede or obstruct his measures; and he will give no passport of safe conduct, therefore the Christian arms arei in this instance, for a time unavoidably grounded. This Chief has profited considerably by his visit to England, having thence obtained a vast expansion of mind, and imbibed in calculable knowledge. His observation upon Euro peans, and theireustoms, has been so particularly close, that there is as much distinction, in point of mental endowment, between the other Chiefs and he that now contends for the New Zealand crown, as exists, comparatively speaking, between the Christian and the infidel. His quickness of percep tion is none of the least of his acquired qualities, which, joined to unusual strength of mind, and a determination to conquer, renders him very formida ble. As to ability na effect the intended enslaie ment, when the WOodlark - left, he- had one of the best armie , . that New Zealand. ever witnessed ; it consisted of X,OOO picked men,. and those were daily being joined by others, who seemed to wish Mr. S.unq;hee to-be their 'dug. This force, headed by Shunghee in person, was on the eve of setting out fur the river Thames, intending to exterminate- all the rettactory in that vicinity, and thus strike-terror into the hearts of all. It is thought that he will accomplish his vast. undertaking; but how his Haw Zealand... Majesty will be able to retain his blood bought dignity, and.suppress the envy of the nume rous Chief,' who- govern the mighty tribes, is a problem which time alone can solve. At all events, King Shungliee will be renowned in the annals of his country. Nd other information comes by this opportunity that is further important; at least,. no thing that we can venture to report upon, without further and the most unequivocal testimony. NAPOLEON!, 111olisE.h..—This laly died lately at Rome—her chief heir is her grandson, the young N-Apoleon, who, it is•said, will ultimately receive an immense fortune. To her eight children now living, to wit, Joseph Ittionaparte, Lucien, Lewis; Jerome, Eliza, Pauline, Carolina, and Hortensia, she be queaths to each and every one the sum of 150;000 sci.di (37,0001) making in the whole 300,0001. The four daughters of Lucian are to have each a marriage portion of 45,000 scudi ; and to her bro ther, Cardinal Fesch, who already rolls in wealth, she bt-queatlis a superb palace, filled with the most splendid furniture and rarities of every sort. DOVER, NOV. 19.—This morning, at half past ten o'clock, their Royal Highnesses,the Princess Au. gusta Sophia, and the Duke of Cambridge, arrived at Wright's Hotel, tinder a salute from the guns on the Redoubt Battery. The carriages were embarked on board his Majesty's steam-packet the Daalscr, and it was the intention of their Royal Highnesses to embark at two o'clock this afternoon; but in conse quence of the wind blowing hard, anal a heavy sea rolling in front of the harbour, it was recommended to deter their departure until to-morrow. ~~ , - 1 -- -7--w .

The Lord Chief Justice held that thiswae a very imperfect finding of the Jory, and therefore the Court came to the deter mination to give no judgment of the qiiestioo of o uisaat e, leasing the protecotoe to loin a new indictment. _ . Extract of a letter from the gerttlemart %lab took the charge of the emigrants to Upper Canada, dated Lanark, in Canada, Sept. 5,.1832.-= I em glad to be able to state, that/ the Lanarkshire emigrants have surmounted the greatest difficulties ;'there has been an abundant crop in the settlement, and!plenty prevails with all who are able to work and exert themselves ; be assured they are happy and tam tented. Upon the whole, considering the deserip tion of people who came out,- the experiment has succeeded better than could have been expected; for many of them from age, iofirmities, and former habits, are very unfit for such an nndertaking.— Some appear to have 'entered the sncietiesstiolely for the purpose of getting to the States ; they aban doned us after getting the first and second ?nstal teent. There it a large mantifactory of coarse wool lens and cottons, and cotton yarn spinning, carried on in many ports-of die State of Netv York. Last sunimer'many of the settlers of the year 1820 weht to those places, one and two hundred miles distant, to obtain work, as the means of supporting their families in the interval between planting and reap ing ; it wad only necexsity that forced them ; they prize their lands to high to relinquish them. Extract of a private letter from Lisbon, dated Oct :—" A commencement has been made is the consolidation of a part of our. public debt, by ot f ering 5 per cent. interest, but the vouchers are nut yet given to the public. When they appear, 6d price of the new paper will doubtless settle betwes. , n 65 and 80 per cent. It is also intended to conso!i date the rest of the debt of the State ; but it is posed that this operation will he accomplished ut per cent. When this is done, the system of public credit will take root in Portugal. It wet a gre.it ei rtir not to have thought on this meieute sooner." '~
