LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SIiPTLUDIII 22. 1844. The course of policy that will be adopted by Cit saute X. c)::tinucs to engross the speculations of the salons at Paris. is no compliment to the sincerity of the Ktwn, the a^v doubt should remain as to his intentions, when he has declared them so positively. Perhaps his over-anxiety to assure the public that no great political changes are meth tsted, excites rather than allays suspicion. Certainly no pains have been spared by the new Mo N.Aactt to convince those about him that he will act on the principle, that his reign shall be as it were a continuation of his deccared brother's. So far back as the Sunday on which our Cor respondent is disposed to fix the demise of Lot: is XVIII., we undendand that Citsat.ss X. addressed the Ministirs in tlte,e terms:— _ Gentlemen, you see what is my affliction. ( lie was bathed in toars.) I cannot now assist at a Council ; but I fed only that I ought to tell you thus much :—The lilac, my brother, has managed tic stairs of France, during ten years, with so much wisdom, that, if we are to be all so unfortunate as to lose hint, I should think I acted against the respect due to his memory and the interests of the Monarchy, were I to follow any other path than the one he has already traced. What he has done has been well done." The Kiso's private friends, naturally enough, expected to have been his public Councillors when he ascended the throne, but they arc, in all probability, destined to feel the bitterness of disappointment. Cu• a LEA X. had for sonic months taken an active part in the management of public affairs. All the measures of M. del:flits:LE were submitted t ) him with the consent, and at the express desire, of the lit KtNo. Ualess, therefore, the deepest and most re volting duplicity should usher in the new reign, the same general system will be pursued, and most probably the me men will, with perhaps an exception or two, be employed to administer it. Rumours are circulated Tr spccting the introduction of the Prince do Putinx se ' to the French Cabinet, and it has been sts:ed in the pa rrs-, that the KING will himself preside twice a week ; in which case both the real and naminal power of %%Ls eta v •iild be reduced to narrow limits : but though the at tsehment of Cu ARLES to Po LI G AC is well known, nothing ti:st has vet occurred seems to sliew that these rumours have any foundation but the lively imaginations of the coteries of Paris. As to M. DI CHA • 11.: Sal AND, lie hasdone well LO return to his old business of pamphleteering. It becomes him li:finitely better than the dignity of a Minister, which he never properly understood. If he must write nonsense, let him be removed from a station in which he may render liis nonsense dangerous. Does he suppose that the King of Fa N ci; ria call him to guide his councils, because lie tells the French people that "nt the maturity of age, their Prince his preserved the charms and 1 \ 01)1c elegance of his s uutl: ?" CH•LI I. LS X., after all, is not we believe, likely t, prove the wretched dupe of such gross itsimmery. Those who look forward with alarm to the future course of this Sark:axiom dread the ascendancy k nown to possessed over him by the Clergy. The recent institution ! Of the Depart ment of ecclesiastical affairs and public instruction, and the admission of the Bishop of Ilsaatorouf, as the repre -1 Ocankl Aluk:itl ..Malta 1: i. It) a It) U :3.;, Dublin aentative of the Clergy, to a scat in the Cabinet, are the measures cited in evidence of the design, which some ex pect to have immediately developed, for raising the Galli = church to its former eminence. We are certainly ap prehensive that these measures do indicate the existence of a design too accordant with the KING'S character. The education of the French youth will, perhaps, be sub jected to the absolute control of the Clergy. The people of France can, at this day, hardly be carried back to the base ignorancc and degrading superstition of the people of Spain and Italy ; but much will probably be done to re ti 74: the wh:desome progress of public knowledge, and weaken those springs of public spirit, which are supposed, and supposed justly, to preshvith peculiar force against the power of the Priesthood. In the German Papers we received last night, we hare, rig Leghorn, some accounts rei,ecting the Egyptian expe dition ; according to which it appears to be of a truly for midable description, and likely to be productive of consi derable mischief to the Greeks. The troops, we fear, are well disciplined and well provided. If the Viceroy be sinctre in his design to aid the Porte, the independence of Greece will be seriously menaced from that quarter. The assistance the able and ambitious Viceroy has received from the apostate Frenchmen in his service, will render him a dangerous enemy to the Christians in the Mores. They are now happily united and supplied with money. May they triumph over the barbarous infidels! We ob serve, with joy, that some fresh disasters are anticipated to have befallen the Capitan Pacha. The following are extracts : LZOITORN, :ZIPT. 3. A ship from Malta arrived here to-day, after five days passage. We expected that it would bring us some recent accounts of the affairs of Greece, but the Captain affitras, that no late news had been received at Malta. The letters will not be delivered till to. Accounts from Alexandria say, that the expedition had with it eighty cannons, forty howitzers, and twenty mortars. The fine appearance and discipline of the troops were universally admired. The Viceroy, they say, was much affected on taking leave of his son InaAelx Pacha, and that he said to him, " IBRAHIM. if God should give you the victory, prove by your humanity that you are worthy of it ; be an enemy to the enemy, but protect the de fenceless." There are different opinions respecting the first object of the expedition. Some letters say that it is Hydra, and others Samos. SEILIX, SEPT. I. Though we have no news from Constantinople respecting the removal of the Sersskier Dervish Pacha from the command, it ap pears to be confirmed, tf we may believe letters from Seres Of the 12th of this month. But it was reported there that Jussur, Paella of Patrass, would have his place. SITTZMPER 2. Later letters from Seres, of the 14th August, again speak in mysterious terms (as they did on the retaking of lowa by the Greeks) of some new misfortune which h... befallen the Caphan Pasha in the Archipelago. The Greeks are full of joy, and inter pret these obscure passa g es in their own favour. They say that the result of the expedition of the Capitan Pasha against Samos, might have been long since known, if it had been successful. But before we pay attention to these conjectures, It vould be advisable t o wait for the next mail from Constantinoplo. A new Company, upon a large scale, has Just been formed in the City, feir the purpose of applying Mr. liaowN's Gas Engine to the propelling of wheel carriages. The capital is ‘200.009/., in shares of lot. each, of which ten per cent. is to be deposited in advance, and no more will be required until the projectors shall have driven a carriage from London to York and back again, at the rate of ten miles an hour. All the shares are already sub scribed for, and they expect to be enabled to Start their first carriage in about two months from this date. We have always looked upon Mr. Meow N's invention 111 the first discovery of the age in which we live, and we have not the slightest doubt of the success of the experi ment, as the power applied is so portable, that a man of ordinary strength might carry an engine of two-horse power on his back ; and the quantity of power, therefore, to give velocity, need only be limited by the necessity of studying the safety of the passengers and the public at large. lf, therefore, it is found that a carriage can travel, without danger, at the rate of twenty miles an hour, the necessary power can be rpplied quite as easily as if it was only required to propel it at the rate of ten. We have no doubt, therefore, that after the experimental carriage has made its first trip, shares will rise IW per Cent. Despatches, dated the Bth of August, were yesterday re ceived at the Colonial Office, from the Earl of Chatham, at Gibraltar. The garrison continued healthy. The following news has been received by the Greek Committee, in a letter dated Ancona, 31st August, to which place they hail been sent from Missolonghi:—" Dervish Pacha having reached Marathon, with an army of 14,000 men, was attacked by the Greeks, at first but 800 in num ber; being reinforcesi by 5,000 men, they routed the Turks, took possession of their baggage, and the Pacha and 600 of his followers were all that escape:l. Many of the enemy were slain, and many taken prisoners. Those who conceal themselves in the woods arc pursued by the con querors. All the Turks who landed at !pure were, with out exception, destroyed. The conduct of the brave Ipsa riots was worthy of their former fame; the women took up arms and fought to defend their country. A convoy, con sisting of many foreign vessels, levied by the Turks for the carriage of provisionr, was attacked by the Greeks, and taken, after a combat of eight hours, in the roadstead of Chio. The prises are two corvettes, one sloop of war, and filly-three transports; a Turkish frigate was burnt, and the fleet has taken refuge in Smyrna. The Capitan Pacha is at Mitylene, and the vi ii tut Admiral Miaouli is confi dent of further triumphs." SOCIETY TOR THE PREVENTION 01? CRINE.—II will be within the recollection of our readers, that on Monday, the 7th instant, a meeting was held at the London Coffee houe, Ludgate-hill, a eery full report of which we gave on the loll:ming mornii g. In another part of our Paper this day, will be found t: e resolutions then agreed to ; anti we are now enabled to sate some further particulars con nected with the progress of the institution. On Monday, the 11th instant, the Committee appointed at the general meeting held their first cenference. S:r I'. Laurie was pre sent, and the subseriptien book was opened by the Worthy Knight, with a donatien of 201. The Committee, after despatching so:ne prelin Mary business, considered that it would be proper to adjourn until the Ohl Bailey Sessions had nearly terminated. iu order that, by a care ful investigation of the several CAWS which came be fore the Court, a fair estimate might be inatle of the probable utility of the proposed Institution. One case that has attracted their n trice deserves to be men tioned. It occurred before Mr. Curist, at Hicks 's Ilall, on Friday last. A perren namel Turnbull was charged with stealing a piece of bacon. The prisoner tacitly ad mitted his guilt, but appealed strongly to the feelings of the Court, urging that he was driven by want to the theft. ' He stated that he was master of five foreign languages, and had had an extensive mercantile establishment at Ham burgh, which had been ruine I by the dishonesty of his partner. He had in consequence returned to England, and having exhausted his means, was cotnpelled to have re course to the shocking a lternative of begging or stealing. The worthy Chairman lament.d that a person of so much enterprise anti talent should he placed in so disgraceful a situation, and in consideration of his former respectability, sentenced him to a confinement commen surate only to a nominal fine. Such are the cues to which this Society will particularly direct its attention. Approv ing of its objects as we do, anti anxious as we are to facilitate them, we shall wr.cli and report its progress from time to time. THE BRITISII PRESS. 01NDCOR, SEPT. 20. Yesterday, after the King and visitors returned from the private Chapel, at Cumberland Lodge, they partook of a cold collation at the Royal Lodge, and immediately left in an open carriage, drawn by four beautiful bay horses, with servants in undress liveries, for Virginia Water, where they remained some time, and afterwards returned to the Royal Lodge to dinner. Earl and Countess Cowper and Lord Graves arrived in the course of the afternoon, and dined with his Majesty. This afternoon, at half-past two, his Majesty left the Royal Lodge in his pony phaeton, accompanied by Earl Cowper. The King was followed in an open landau by Earl and Countess Warwick, Countess Cowper, and Sir A. Barnard, with Lord Graves, and others of his Majesty's suite on horseback. They proceeded through the plantations to Virginia Water, where, should the weather Continue fine, the Royal Party will pass the afternoon on the Lake. Refreshments are ordered to bo sent from the Lodge, which will be served in the banquet ing barge. This evening the King will entertain his visitors at dinner. On Saturday evening Earl and Countess Warwick arrived at the Royal Lodge on a visit to his Ma jesty. CHELTENHAM, SEPT. 20. This has been a long season with us, and the company are now very numerous ; the spas are very well attended every morning. On Saturday evening a concert and ball was given at the Royal ‘Yell Room, for the benefit of the band playing at that spa, which was attended by between five and six hundred persons, who enjoyed the concert and merry dance from between six and seven o'clock till ten. The room was brillirntly illuminatcil and decorated with laurels, Re. in a fanciful manner. Over the covered way, where the late King drank the waters, and other parts of the walks, were displayed several flags, consisting of the great Cross of St. George, St. George's Cross, the Union Jack, in commemoration of the anniversary of the commence ment of the reign of the House of Brunswick. This spa has much increased in subscribers since it has been under the direction of Mr. Chambers, so much so, that to ward against a deficiency of water he is now having a new well dug cicsc to the principal walk. The Earl and Countess Cassillis, Lord Charlemant, Sir Bunn Martin, Sir John and Lady Shcrbroke, Lady Bcllingliam, &e. visit this spa. The promenade. at Mr. Thompron's or Montpelier spa continues its attraction from eight o'clock till ten, where a numerous band attend. This morning they played the de lightful overture to the oratorio of Sampson in a very fine style. The entrance to this spa firm the new Bath road has been considerably improved by a neat and elegant stone entrance. The attraction to Sherborne spa is greatly increased by the nursery grounds attached to it, in addition to the de lightful rides and walks ; the tops of the trees of the prin cipal walk nearly meet, so as to form a grove. They are illuminated with large gas lamps. 11/r. Braham gave his assistance at a concert this morn tug for the benefit of Mrs. Ashc, at the Assembly Rooms. His Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief gave au dience yesterday, at his office at the Horse Guards, to some General and other Officers. On Monday evening, about nine o'clock, the Duke of Meiningen, the brother of the Duchess of Clarence, ar rived at the Tower, in the Lord Liverpool steam packet, from the Continent, and left the Tower at eleven o'clock, for Bushy, on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of Cla rence, where his Serene Highness arrived at one o'clock yesterday morning. Ma. CANNING.—In the midst of all the speculations re lative to the Right Hon. Gentleman's visit to this country, we are astonished that private motives, and not political ones, have never been taken into account. Mr. Canning is about to give his daughter in marriage to a young Irish Nobleman, who has just enterged rroin a minority of many years. His estates are all in this country; his agents and guardians, and those col.ipetent to settle accounts ' are, with the young Nobleman himself, at present in Dublin.— Dublin Erening Alcil. The Chancellor of the Exchequer and Lady Sarah Re. binson were expected at Wimpole Hall, Cambridgeshire, the scat of Earl Ilardwicke, yesterday, from Wresthouse, Sileoe, Bedfordshire. The Duchess of Hamilton arrived on Friday last at Hallyburion-house, on a visit to the Hon. D. G. liallybur ton of Pitcur, her half uncle. The Marquis of Lothian, Lord Lieutenant of Roxburgh shire, has recommended to the King, Major-General Elliot, of Rosebank, to be a Deputy-Lieutenant for said county, of which his Majesty has been graciously pleased to ap prove. It is said the Earl of Brecknock, the eldest son of the Marquis Camden, Lord Lieutenant of Kent, will offer himself for this county at the approaching election. The Canterbury freemen resident in London are on the alert, at the rumour of Mr. Lushington'a projected promotion to the Governorship or Bombay. Two meetings of the free men took place in London connected with this subject.— Kent Merevry. Amongst the recent departures from Edinburgh are— Lord Win. Russell, Lord Win. Montague, S:r John Mar joribanks, Bart. of Lees, M.P., and Lady Marjoribanks, General Sir R. C. Ferguson, Bart. M.P., General IVetnyss, &c. &c. _ _ The Gazelle of last night announces the aprointment of Arthur William Fitzßoy Somerset, Esq., to be Paze of Honour to his Majesty in Ordinary. 11. Brougham, Esq. M.P. passed through this town on Thursday morning last, from Lancaster, on his way to Brougham Hall, where he purposek stayiTig a few weeks. —Kendal Chronicle. .Mrs. Coutts returned to the British Hotel, Queen-street, Edinburgh, the latter end of last week, where she every day entertains company. After her return she paid a visit to Sir Walter Scott, at Abbotsford. She has since visited the Marquis of Bute, Sir J. Dalrymple, and Sir J. Steuart Denham, at their respective scats. We understand that her next excursion will be to the north. The delicate affair between a monarch of the histrionic art, and a distinguished civic person, is at length arranged, to the disappointment of the civilians, the barristers, and the prying eye of curiosity, all on the tip-toe of expec tation for epistolary disclosures, illustrative of the 1 ilcrary talents of some of the parties. A gallant son of Mars, a native of Cork, will in a few days lead to the hymeneal altar a youug and beautiful lady, resident in Loudon, with a splendid fortune.--11 ish Ohserrrr. 11. Osborne, Esq. a Banister of the Oxford Circuit, has been appointed, we hear, to succeed the late Mr. Bevil, as a Pollee Magistrate, in the ofice in Worship-street. Bus Mor.—On the title of Aston descending to the Honourable Mrs. IfervLy Aston's cousin, and her new car riage then coming out, he sent a gentleman to her, making objection about her taking the crest, &c. when she said, Clive my compliments to Sir Willoughby, and tell him, the fortune, the name, and the arms, I take by my brother Sir 'fhotnas's will, and by Act of Parliament ; as to the bloody hand, end the crest (via. an Axis head proper) they , are very much at Sir 11 illoughb•:'s service." The gentle man burst out a laughing, and not only delivered the message to Sir Willoughby, but to every one else who came in his way ; and George the Second's Court rung of it next drawing-room day. II IA ROOD lint e our last we stated, that a eor respondent bad forwarded to us a complaint regarding the manner in which the pictures in the gallery of dr!, Palace are 1..14 free of dust. We have since learned that the cloth he denominated a coarse towel, was in reality a tine linen duster—the instrument which he fancied a house broom, a 'f urk's head, such as is usually employed to sweep down the cobwebs in lofty apartments, and she in attention of the old domestic to his advice, the result of denim ss. It appears that the old dame in question has been in the habit of dusting the pictures for years, and has always manifested the greatest caution in her operations. We are now mistier' that she knew the mode of scrubbing, parmelling, and brushing down cobwebs, much better than our corregpoudrnt. Our apprehensions were excited by recollecting that Vandyke 's celebrated piece of King Charles going a hunting was ruined by the ignorance of the person employed to wash off the chalk lines left by an artist who had been directed to copy it.—Edinburgk Observer. AIIf. CANNING'S VISIT TO IRELAND. Drattx, SUNDAY. Although Mr. Canning has declined the invitation to a public dinner, yet his frequent and attentive inspection of the public institutions of the city strongly induces one to ' believe that his visit has not been merely on private busi ness. Yesterday he sent a polite cotninunication to the Lott' Mayor, intimating his desire to see the Custom-house, the Post-office, and the Kildare-street Institution. The Lord Mayor, with very praiseworthy itromptitnde, ex pressed his readiness to attend the Right Honotrable Gentleman to whatever part of the city he might desire to visit ; and what renders this conduct on the part of the Len' Mayor highly honourable to him is, that by it he risks for Spivasar . of the Corporation of this city, who have ma nifested in their public capacity as a bcdy, as well as indivi dually, a disposition to treat Mr. Canning with indifference and disregard. An effort was made by the liberal portion of the Corporation (which is by far the minority of it) to pies: lit him with the freedom of the city, but the indig. nant spirit of exelasire loyalty that animates Sir Bradley King and his followers revolted at the idea of enrolling in the list of their freemen an advocate for the freedom of their Catholic fellow-countrymen. The effort has there fore failed. It is an effort, however, which if successful, would have clone honour to those who made it, and which though unsuccessful, cannot disgrace them. Under such circumstances the polite attentions of the Chief Magistrate of the city is doubly valuable, and it is hut justice to him to add, that his conduct in this instance is but of a piece with the Mel, ormlence and integrity which bare marked his career in office. Accompanied by his Lordship and by Messrs. North and Didierty, Mr. Canning visited first the Post-office. The external appearance of the building pleased him, tut its internal arrangements did not attract his particular attieition. From thence he went to the Custom House. As soon as he entered the long room of that spacious building, the signal of his ar rival was communicated to the several offices, and the clerks poured fourth and surrounded him, from whose tumultuous pressure he was obliged to escape by a grecipitate retreat. Indeed nothing can exceed the anxiety that prevails to see him, or the general respect with which he is everywhere received. The most important visit of yesterday which he paid was that to the Kildare-street In stitution, which has for the last eight or ten years obtained a grant of eleven thousand pounds from Parliamynt, from the misapprepriation of which money, in great measure, has sprung the recent Commission which has been issued for inquiring into the state of education in Ireland. Seve ral charges of proselytism had been made and proved by the Catholics against this Association, although it set out on the declaratory principle of not interfering with the religious opinions of the children whom it instructed. It has been consequently regarded with suspicion and distrust by the Catholic portion of the community, and abuses which it sanctioned have been a frequent towed' complaint during the last and preceding Srssion of Parliament. It holds an annual meeting, at which an annual defence of its principles and practice is made by Messrs. North and Jackson, the Secretaries. It would seem a little ominous against Mr. Canning's being made fairly ac quainted welt the state of Ireland, that these Gentlemen were the very persons who yesterday were selected to spew him the Institution, and explain to him the mode of edu cation adopted in its schools. Mr. Canning expressed him self extremely pleased with the system, or rather with what those Gentlemen described the system to be. Several of the pupils were examined before the Right lion. Secre tary. lie was particularly taken with a boy of about eleven or twelve years of agee, who solved several questions in arithmetic, and other scholastic exercises, with remark able rapidity and accuracy. He asked the ages of the chil dren who were examined, and appeared altogether to take great interest in this Institution, and to express himself in terms of more unqualified commendation respecting it than any other public Institution which he has visited. But this is only looking at " the sunny side of the picture." There are talcs told of this society waich would place it in a far less favourable point of view before him than that in which it appt area yesterday. Mr. Canning dines to-day with the Lord Li utenant, where a select party, among st whom are the Attorney-Ges meal and Mr. Spring Rice, have been invited to meet him. On Monday lie dines with the Attorney-General, and in tends to devote the afternoon of that day to the inspection of the public buildings he has not yet visited. Unless the Kin" of France's death, or some political event, obliges his departure, it is c spected he will prolong his sojourn for a week or ten days. Mr. Canning has not been in Dublin till now since lie was IS yeais of age; amid the improvements and alterations which have been made in the city during that interval, have excited his surprise and admiration. Several eccle siastical dignitaries, and other persons of distinction have been at the Viceregal Lodge, to pay their respects to the Right Eon. S. cretary. MR. SEAN AT LIMERICK. Wednesday night Mr. Kean appeared on one boards in Ottnlle. What will be said of the taste of the inhabitants of this rich and populous city, when we inform the public that the audience slid not, on the whole, consist of two hundred persons? The cheerless and unpromising aspect of the boxes, however, did not damp the spirit of the performers; and on Mr. Kean produced no other effect than to snake him perform with more vigour, as if to spew to the few who saw him, that he was the mighty j.rop of the Drama. _ _ _ Thursday we had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Kean's Stranger. The benches were, for the taste of the city we regret to say it, 11 arl•• empty. At the conclusion of the play, Mr. Clarke came forward and stated, that he felt it his duty to inform the public that he should cease playing in Limerick, in con& quellre of not receiving that support which he had anticipates!, and which he had every reason to expect, from having brought amongst them such an attraction as Mr. Kean, the mest unrivalled performer that had appeared on the stage since the days of Garrick, and that too at a most enonnous expense. Indeed, Mr. Kean had been so very kind as to relinquish his engagement (401. a night) for the remainder of the term for which he had been engaged to perform in this city ; but, that if arrangements were entered into by the public, and a de termination to encourage Mr. Kean were exhibited, he would he leady to come forward in the ensuing w.ek. This address was received with plaudits, after which the farce called Of Age ?'o-morrow, wu exhibite.:, to the satisfaction and delight of the house.
